Infant Swimming Resource’s Self-Rescue® survival swimming program is approximately a six-week course, scheduled four days per week. Lessons are held Monday through Thursday in the afternoons or Tuesday through Friday in the mornings, with each session lasting 10 minutes.
The program focuses on safe, customized, one-on-one instruction provided by certified ISR instructors. ISR’s survival swimming lessons emphasize child health, ongoing program evaluations, and parent education to ensure the most effective and safest results in the industry.
Children may begin lessons as early as 6 months of age and continue through 6 years of age.


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.

Lessons for kids that are walking 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.

Maintenance lessons are also available at any time for regular fine-tuning of your child's skills. These lessons are highly recommended.
Refresher lessons are extremely important in continuing and maintaining your child’s ISR Self-Rescue skill development. Children grow and develop rapidly from infants to toddlers and young children. This development process represents improved strength, coordination, and a more finely tuned cognitive ability. In accordance with this growth, children enrolled in ISR return periodically to participate in Refresher Lessons.

My name is Tara Murphy. I became a certified ISR Instructor in 2014. Since then, I have had the amazing opportunity to teach the children of the Wichita area to Self-Rescue in the water. I get excited to see each child succeed in learning these survival skills.
