First Day Information

Thank you for registering your child with Infant Swimming Resource! I look forward to meeting you and working with your child! Please review the following information carefully. I know this is a lot of information, but your child's first day will go much smoother if you take the time to read this now.  Also, here is a link to the Parent Resource Guide that you will see is mentioned: https://www.infantswim.com/eprb/eprb-download.html 

1.     Once you have completed the ISR registration and paid the $105 fee, you will receive an email from noreply@infantswim.com. Please check your spam folder if you do not happen to see this in your inbox. If your child was approved, please continue to step 2 below. If your child's registration is pending, our registration team may need further medical/developmental information on your child, so please keep an eye on your emails in case they need further clarification to approve the registration. Please understand that our Registration Team only wants to ensure we provide the safest possible lessons for your child, and the information they request will help.  

2.    The approval email from noreply@infantswim.com contains your child's registration form.  Please review this for accuracy.  

3.   You will also receive a .pdf file that contains the online version of our Parent Resource Guide.  This book will answer many of your questions and educate you about our method of teaching ISR Self-Rescue® skills, general water safety, and safeguarding your home aquatic environment.

4.   You will read in the Parent Resource Guide, about the importance of your positive attitude and emotions about lessons, so please keep in mind that your child is constantly observing you and taking his or her emotional cues from you. Maintaining a positive, supportive attitude throughout your child’s ISR lessons will greatly impact your child's ISR lesson experience! If you have a question or a concern regarding lessons, please feel free to contact me anytime.  

5.   Please be sure to read and electronically sign off on the Lesson Contract, Release of Liability, and Digital Release forms that are on your account after you sign up for lessons. If you have other caregivers bringing your child to lessons, please be sure they know what to bring, where to go and to keep a positive attitude! Our goal is for each child to have a smooth and enjoyable learning experience, and parents play a very big role in ensuring that the child's experience at the pool is a positive one! 

Things to bring with you the first day of lessons: 

• TWO swim diapers; you can do a disposable under a reusable swim diaper. Here is a link to a reusable swim diaper that is great at holding in bowel movements, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RKMSMXP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
• THREE towels
• a big SMILE!

***SUGGESTION:  Provided your child has already had a bowel movement before lessons, you can bring your child dressed in their swim diapers and put a regular diaper over top of all of that in case the swim diapers leak urine on your ride to the pool.  It is okay if the child has a little urine in their swim diapers when they enter the pool.  This helps to decrease the anxiety of having to dress them when you arrive. 

DIET is an important aspect of your child’s ISR Lesson Experience. Your child should not eat or drink at least 2 hours before lessons, including breastmilk.  In addition, infants and toddlers should avoid apple products throughout the duration of their ISR Lessons. Apple products are high in fiber, which can cause gas and bloating that will make the floating and swimming maneuvers practiced during ISR lessons much more difficult. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this information so that you can be prepared for your child’s first day of lessons.  I know it is a lot of information to take in, but there is a reason that ISR is the safest provider of survival swimming lessons. We at ISR truly care that each child has a safe lesson every lesson.
