Infant Swimming Resource has numerous safety protocols to protect our students. We are committed to providing the safest and most efficient lessons possible. Through extensive
instructor education and strict adherence to safety protocols this
technique has provided millions of safe lessons.
National Registration
The national registration process is a screening tool of each child to
ensure they will benefit from and can safely participate in lessons.
This information is submitted and reviewed by a team of doctors and
nurses. In some cases the instructor will be provided additional
directions and protocols to ensure the safest possible lesson for
each individual student.
BUDS Sheets
Each lesson will honor the unique physiology of the student.
Therefore, instructors ask parents to complete the BUDS sheet so
that we may monitor bowel, urine diet and sleep. This information
provides the instructor with possible interferences that may affect
lessons. ISR asks that parents do not feed the student for 1½ hours prior
to lessons. No one works well on a full stomach and children
are no different.
10 minutes per day lesson
The children will be working hard during this time and the will be
tired. Since most younger children do not engage in many activities
for longer than ten minutes, ISR takes advantage of the prime
learning span and do not exceed that. Past 10 minutes the children
would lose focus and would not retain as much.
Monitoring Fatigue
ISR monitors students for temperature fatigue. This is a preindicator
of physical fatigue. This allows the instructor to know how to proceed
throughout the course of the lesson.
Hand out after lesson
At the conclusion of the lesson, the instructor will lay the child on
their towels on their left side. This will allow the child to rest
for a few minutes and will also allow for any air that was swallowed
to escape more easily. In addition, this allows the student's blood
to flow more freely.
Water and Air Temperature
The water temperature at ISR Tallahassee is typically 86 degrees F.
For safety the water must be between 78 degreees and 88 degrees.
Below 78 degrees, students lose body heat too rapidly and experience temperature fatigue quickly.
Water temperature over 88 degrees can cause dehydration.
If the air temperature is below 60 degrees at lesson time we will not swim.
