So you’re considering ISR lessons?
CAN YOU COMMIT TO 10 minutes a day | 5 DAYS A WEEK | for about 6 weeks?
Consistency is crucial to not only the learning process, but also to the retention of learned skills. Bringing your child every day will increase the rate of progress and the retention of skills. Missing lessons due to unacceptable reasons may result in adding weeks to the lesson set that you could be charged extra for (this is will be left to the instructors discretion). While consistency is vital I understand there will be days students will have to miss due to sickness, family trips, etc. I will do my best to work with your schedules.
WE ASK that STUDENTS HAVE NOTHING TO EAT OR DRINK TWO HOURS PRIOR TO THE LESSON TIME.
Please consider whether the available lesson times align with your schedule or if adjustments can be made to accommodate them.
This rule is non-negotiable, as it prioritizes your child’s safety by preventing aspiration and pool contamination. In such cases, all lessons for the day will be canceled until the pool is properly treated. A $100 pool cleaning fee may also apply.
Many local daycares are familiar with Afton ISR’s protocols, as many of their children have participated in our lessons.
CAN YOU MANAGE THE INVESTMENT IN ISR?
The main fees to consider are the non-refundable medical registration fee to National ISR ($105) and a session fee of $705. Half of the session fee ($352.50) will be due at sign up to reserve your child’s spot. The other half ($352.50) will be due your child’s first day of lessons. Payment plans are available upon request.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER ONE CONCERN?This means we might need to adjust lessons or not have lessons that day for your child (this applies even if the doctor says it's okay to resume lessons).
As Instructors we have strict safety protocols provided by ISR that we need to follow to make sure we give the safest lesson to your child. We also love our job and want to keep it, so we hope you understand! These protocols and guidelines can be provided at anytime for you to view.
CAN YOU BE OPEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE YOUR INSTRUCTOR?
If you have questions or concerns we always want you to bring those to our attention. We can only address your concerns if we hear them, so please talk with us. We do our best to explain our thoughts to you and we ask that you do the same.
Because of the short daily structure of our lessons (about 10 minutes a day with each child), it may be a good idea to reach out via phone or email for any lengthy questions that take more than a minute or two to answer. We do our best to respect your schedule and time constraints and we ask that you do the same for us.
Can you get your child to lessons?
We understand it can take a village to make ISR lessons happen. Anyone you trust may bring your child to lessons as long as they follow the safety protocols set forth by National ISR and Afton ISR.
What will Your child learn?
6 months - 12 months
Why this young? Because the sooner the safer!
The Rollback-to-Float program teaches breath control, correct floating posture and the skills to attain a back float and remain floating for a varied period of time. These students are brought back at an older age to learn our Swim-Float-Swim sequence, which they already know a portion of.
12 months and up
The Swim-Float-Swim program begins with teaching breath control and the skills to secure the edge of the pool or steps. Children learn correct swimming posture in a face down position, how to roll on to their backs to float, and turn back over to continue swimming. This is repeated until safety is reached.
