What is Infant Swimming Resource?
Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) is the product of over 40 years of research and founded by Dr. Harvey
Barnett. ISR instructors have trained over 175,000 students in over 7 million SAFE lessons. ISR instructors
are highly trained professionals and undergo annual re-certification. ISR is nationally recognized as the
safest self-rescue swimming program for infants and young children. The program is the world's most
comprehensive and efficient drowning prevention strategy that focuses on effective education of everyone
who can prevent the next baby from drowning - parents, pediatricians, the community and particularly the
infant or child. ISR is taught to children from the ages of 6 months to 6 years old.

Why Infant Swimming Resource?
The focus of ISR lessons is SURVIVAL. Why? Because in 18 states, including California, drowning is the number one cause of death for children under 4. This statistic is alarming, but the good news is..drowning is preventable! ISR recommends building layers of protection between your child and the water. These layers are essential because the reality is that most children do not drown because of a LACK of supervision, it is a LAPSE in supervision, and it only takes a momentary distraction for a curious toddler to get out of your sight.
