About ISR in Menifee
Nationally recognized as the safest provider of survival swimming lessons for infants and young children.
Infant Swimming Resource (ISR), with its Self-Rescue® program, is nationally recognized as the safest provider of survival swimming lessons for infants and young children. Infant Swimming Resource has been around since 1966. This program was pioneered by Dr. Harvey Barnett, evolving from a personal vow to create a water survival method after witnessing a child's drowning. ISR has become the global leader in survival swimming lessons for infants and toddlers over nearly 60 years.
The Ripple Effect ISR currently has one instructor in the Menifee area. My specialized approach to ISR swim lessons is one that I have learned through training with My Baby Swims ISR, Brad Hurvitz. My Baby Swims is the number one swim school in San Diego. This unique approach to swim lessons is obvious to every parent that has worked with us and will be clear from the first week in lessons. I make every effort to prioritize your child and do what I can to make them successful in the water. Every lesson is unique to each child, and is tailored to their pace and comfort.
Children are curious, capable, and have an uncanny ability to overcome obstacles like pool fences; at the Ripple Effect ISR, I take that ability and teach them skills to potentially save themselves in the event of an accidental encounter with water.
Learn about ISR lessons
Infant Swimming Resource's Self-Rescue® swimming program is scheduled 4–5 days per week, Monday through Thursday, for 10 minutes each day for an average of 6 weeks. With a focus on safe, customized, one-on-one lessons by certified ISR Instructors, ISR's survival swimming lessons emphasize health, ongoing program evaluations and parent education to deliver the most effective and safest results in the industry.
The ISR program is for children 6 months to 6 years of age.
Ages 6–12 months
Lessons for a 6–12 month old focus on teaching the child to roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe, and to be able to maintain this life-saving position until help arrives. Statistics indicate that most children who fall into water are fully clothed. Therefore, once the children are fully skilled they will practice their ISR skills fully clothed.
Ages 1–6 years
Lessons for a 1–6 year old focus on teaching the swim-float-swim survival sequence. Children learn to swim with their head down; roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe; and roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool, where they can either crawl out or until they can be rescued.
The child is the most important part of drowning prevention
ISR believes pool fences, supervision, and pool alarms are important parts of a necessary multi-layered approach to drowning prevention. However, traditional lines of defense break down, and the over 4,000 drowning deaths per year bear a grim testament to the fact that traditional approaches are missing a key component: the child. ISR's core conviction is that the child is the most important part of a drowning prevention strategy — and our over 500,000 ISR graduates and over 1,000 documented survival stories are proof that children can save themselves.
