About Us

ISR has been the global leader in survival swimming lessons since 1966, teaching infants and young children the skills they need to survive in the water. With nearly 60 years of research, our highly trained instructors provide the safest and most effective lessons available.

Our mission, “Not One More Child Drowns,” drives everything we do. While barriers like fences and alarms add protection, true water safety includes the child. With over 450,000 ISR graduates and hundreds of documented survival stories, we know children can learn to save themselves.

To date, ISR has provided 19 million+ Self-Rescue® lessons, helping families create a multi-layered defense against drowning—the leading cause of accidental death for children under 4.
