At Sunny Waves Swim School, we believe that learning to swim is not just about mastering a few techniques—it’s about growing and evolving as your child does. ISR lessons are designed to adapt to your child’s development, ensuring that they build a solid foundation of aquatic skills that grow with them.

Starting Strong: The Rollback to Float

In the initial stages of ISR lessons, your child will learn the essential skill of rolling back to float. This critical survival technique teaches them how to independently turn onto their back when facedown in the water. It’s a skill that instills confidence, allowing them to float safely while awaiting rescue. This foundational lesson sets the stage for more advanced skills and builds a sense of security in the water.

Building on Basics: From Float to Swim

As your child progresses, the focus shifts to integrating their rollback to float with swimming techniques. They will learn how to swim underwater, roll onto their back to rest and breathe, and then continue swimming. This phase emphasizes body posture and movement, teaching your child how to use their skills effectively. As their coordination improves, they will gradually transition to more complex movements and begin to explore freestyle swimming.

Growing with Your Child: Continuous Development

ISR lessons are designed to grow with your child. As they develop and gain strength, our programs adapt to incorporate more advanced techniques and refine their swimming skills. While the initial six-week program provides a solid foundation, ongoing refresher lessons can be incredibly beneficial. These sessions help reinforce skills, build strength, and enhance coordination, allowing your child to continue progressing as they grow.

A Journey of Growth and Confidence

The journey of learning to swim with ISR is one of continuous development and confidence-building. From mastering the rollback to float to refining freestyle techniques, ISR lessons evolve with your child, supporting their growth every step of the way. Whether it’s through refresher courses or advancing to more complex skills, we are here to help your child ride the wave of growth and become a strong, confident swimmer.
