Chloe's Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) Course

[TheShasiti]

@MrMcShane70 Also I never interviewed one parent whom assumed that now that the course was completed the child no longer needed supervision. ISR is just another tool that we as parents can utilize to keep our children as safe as we can in and around water. We had a six year old die this summer whom was NOT ISR trained. At six years old living in Phoenix he should have been on the verge of being a olympic swimmer. This was a very ,VERY preventable death.

@MrMcShane70 Can you please provide me a link to one of those stories that you cited? I live in Phoenix, follow isr swimming for infants and toddlers and I live in Glendale. I do not recall one instant of a ISR certified baby drowning this summer. To graduate the float is a 20 minute float. .Also these courses are NOT a replacement for good parenting. It teaches the children what to do in case of a fall into water. Teaches them to roll over and float and cry out to be heard.

The dad sounds like a baseball announcer calling a play by play game. There's even a post game interview.

This is so important for everyone to know. why not a baby? Sure she didnt like it at first but that is completely normal. She wouldnt like it if she fell in either. Now she knows what to do just in case. Great parenting!

[MrMcshane70]

Your comment about 0 drowning is wrong. There have been several cases of isr trained toddlers including one this year in AZ. The training fails to provide enough time because a 5 minute float is useless when parents fail to find them within that time.  Although ISR is useful, most ppl believe their kids are safe. Even the strongest trained babies have panicked and gone under. All it takes is one time and death comes in 4 minutes.

Aww, good for you Dad!! (And Mom) i just recently heard about this program (im 20) and even tho it's been around forever, i don't hear much about it (only on youtube) i agree w.you and think EVERY parent should do this, i bet she is A pro now,....i mean, i STILL plug my nose til this day!! lol!! Kudos to the parents for thinkin smart!! and NOT being ignorant and nieve and thinkin 'Oh this could never happen to my kid''!!! Bless you and her_x0x0x

How old is she?

[metataggers]

She was about 13 months at the time, getting close to walking, and really starting to explore. And, we would hold her while wading (the pool in the video is our own), so she was curious about the pool -- which scared the heck out of us. It's not like I'm getting paid to post this video, but I wish that all kids could go through this program. Not only for the child, but to teach the parents about never letting your guard down. But when you do, to know that your child will survive.

@metataggers How does Chloe like the water now? I have a 10 month old. I just learned about this program today, but now I'm having second thoughts. I rather have my baby enjoy and respect the water than fear it. So I'm wondering how Chloe is liking it after the ISR program?

[MegaMoneyify]

@arletian I noticed pretty much all the babies love the water even more after learning to swim because they don't have the fear of going under. They're more confident. Still parents should always be with them near water but this class (ISR) and babies don't just forget about what they're taught. They also have swim classes for A few days about 6mnths-1year after the program to make sure the baby keeps up with knowing how to swim.

thats freaking torue to the baby thay should stop!

[metataggers]

I respect your viewpoint, and I had felt the same way. That is, before I started to research. The nightmare of swim instructors who simply throw kids in a sink or swim style is simply irresponsible. That's a sure way to create an emotional and/or physical impact for a lifetime. Infant Swimming Resource data is hard to deny. 1000's of instructions, 0 drownings, kids who respect and love the water. Frankly, a drowning or brain damaged child would be what I would call torture.
