ISR Monroe - Lori Barnidge

ISR Monroe - Lori Barnidge ISR’s Self-Rescue™ program teaches children how to survive if they were to reach the the water alone. The lesson fee is $125/week.

Infant Swimming Resource’s Self-Rescue program teaches children how to survive if they were to reach the water alone. ISR lessons are
one-on-one and customized to the developmental level of each child. Babies who can sit up independently--generally six months to 12 months old--learn to hold their breath underwater, roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe. Children who can walk--generally one year of age and older (up to six years)--learn to hold their breath under water, swim with their head down and eyes open, roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe, and roll back over to resume the sequence until they reach the side of the pool and can crawl out. Each session is a 4-6 week course, scheduled 5 days per week, Monday through Friday, for 10 minutes each day. I accept the following forms of payment: cash, check, PayPal, and credit card. The ISR National Registration Fee is $105

One of the most important warnings I try to make parents understand is how detrimental flotation devices are to a child’s skills. It takes 4-6 weeks for a child to learn how to self-rescue and only 10 minutes in a puddle jumper for them to learn how to drown.

Parents, PLEASE stop allowing your child to swim in flotation devices. These devices are teaching them how to drown.

Parents, PLEASE stop allowing your child to swim in flotation devices. These devices are teaching them how to drown.

(PLEASE KNOW THIS CHILD SURVIVED)

14 seconds.

That's how long this child was in the water before anyone realized what had happened.

This image is a powerful reminder of how quickly and silently drowning can occur.

1- The children were supposed to be out of the pool.
2- One adult was actually in the pool.
3- One adult was tending to another child.
4- One adult was sitting just feet away.
YET NO ONE HEARD THE CHILD ENTER THE WATER!

Notice the flotation device left on the deck. Many children who regularly wear flotation devices have not yet developed the skills to save themselves if they enter the water without one.

Thankfully, this child survived. Tragically, many others do not.

We are not posting this to shame anyone. It's about understanding that drowning doesn't look or sound the way most people expect. It is often silent, and it can happen in seconds—even when adults are nearby.

That's why we stress layers of protection: self-rescue swim lessons, barriers, active adult supervision when children are in or near the water, and never relying on flotation devices.

It only takes as little as 21 seconds to lose a child to a drowning. PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD BECOME A STATISTIC.
