Water Safety & The Importance of ISR Lessons

Accidents are unplanned.  Please remember that children can reach the water alone any time of year (think canals, hot tubs, open pool gates,  unfamiliar play areas) , and that children as young as 6 months can learn to save their own lives, should the need arise.  A moment’s inattention shouldn’t cost a child his or her life.

5 Important Keys To Water Safety

1. Effective Supervision

The most critical line of defense is adult supervision. No level of aquatic skill can replace active supervision. If your child is ever missing, look in the water first.

2. Pool Fences

Install a permanent 4-sided fence with self-locking gates. Ensure that the pool fence is at least 3-5 feet from the pool edge.

3. Alarms

Make sure all doors and windows leading to the pool are locked and alarmed.

4. Survival Swimming Lessons

A moment’s inattention does not have to cost a child his life. ISR’s Self-Rescue™ training is an added layer of protection, teaching your child water survival skills in a completely safe environment.

5. CPR

If an emergency happens, it is essential parents and families are prepared. Learn to perform CPR on children and adults and remember to update those skills regularly.

Accidents are unplanned.  With so much cold weather blanketing the U.S., hottubs enjoy a spike in popularity.  Please remember that children can reach the water alone any time of the year, and children as young as 6 months old can learn to save their own lives if the need were to arise.  A moment’s inattention shouldn’t cost a child her life.  For tips on keeping your family safe, please visit our ISR Family Aquatic Safety Page here: http://www.infantswim.com/water-safety/water-safety-information.html – See more at: http://www.infantswim.com/blog/2014/02/any-time-of-year.html#sthash.w3BDieGi.dpuf

Book Now-Indoor Winter ISR Lessons & Refreshers

Looking for something to do this winter?

Do you want to get a jump start on your Spring schedule or get your refresher/maintenance lessons in early?

Now is the time to sign up your little one(s) for a new course or to brush up your child’s swimming skills.  I will be teaching at The Hilton Garden Inn in Kitty Hawk starting on January 21st in their indoor pool, and I am so thankful for their generosity in letting us use their facilities.  Limited spaces are available, so don’t delay in booking your spot if you are interested in winter lessons.

Lessons will be held between 4:20-6:20pm, and I am offering a special winter rate-contact me for details.  If you want a space in this winter session, please email me with your available time range, and I will let you know what is available.  I will pencil you in and ask you to mail in your deposit (1st week of tuition) to lock in your time slot.  I ask that you wait to register on January 1st, or thereafter, so that your National Registration fee will count towards the 2013 calendar year. 

Email me: theswimlady@gmail.com for your registration link

Contact me soon to secure your space, because space is limited in this session, which wraps up in March. (Refresher Lessons last for 2 weeks; Maintenance Lessons are taught 2-3 times/week).  If you’d rather wait until my Spring or summer sessions,  you can also secure your class dates/start time by mailing in a deposit.  Those sessions start on May 6, June 17 and August 5.
