Afternoon and evening lessons are available from June to August in the summer session. During the school year, October to May, lesson availability is morning to early afternoon (8:30am-2:00pm).

From June through August, lessons are held at a private home pool in Montclair. From October through May, lessons move indoors to a heated hotel pool in Dumfries, VA, ensuring year-round consistency and comfort for your child.

The 6-week average is an estimate that is based on the average time in which it takes most children to learn these survival skills. Every child is unique and ISR’s Self- Rescue program is specifically designed based on your child’s individual strengths and needs. It is important to realize that this is an average which means that some children will actually finish more quickly while others will need more practice. ISR is dedicated to safety and, therefore, we want to provide your child with the time and best opportunity to become proficient in his/her survival skills. We will always honor your child’s needs.

We do not want the baby to initially associate the water with the love, attention, and affection of the parent while in the water. Also, it takes incredible concentration and objectivity to teach the baby how to respond to an aquatic emergency and our experience shows that parents often find it too difficult to be objective to be effective teachers with their own children in the water. We gladly invite parents to join us in the pool once their child has independent skills to practice at home.
