When to start isr
ISR compared to traditional swim lessons
"17:41:10:03 --- KIDS AS SOON AS
THEY START
CRAWLING, THEY'RE CURIOUS AND
THEY GET OUT AND THEY'LL GO
ANYWHERE IF THEY CAN.
15:29 "
AND WITH THAT SPLASH...
IT'S A LIFE OR DEATH MOMENT FOR
YOUR LITTLE ONE.
"17:35:49:03 -- IT HAPPENS IN A
SPLIT SECOND. "
THAT'S EXACTLY WHY ABIGAIL
PARKS...
"GOOD JOB REBECCA "
ENROLLED HER DAUGHTER IN INFANT
SWIMMING RESOURCE
CLASSES.
"16:04:22;04 -- I'VE ALWAYS BEEN
AROUND THE
WATER. I COULD SWIM AT HER AGE.
SHE HAD NEVER HAD ANY SWIMMING
LESSONS AND I THOUGHT
ABOUT DOING THEM, BUT SO MANY OF
THEM ARE MOMMY AND ME WHERE THEY
HOLD ON TO YOU
THE WHOLE TIME. AND IF YOU LET
THEM GO THEY WILL JUST SINK TO
THE BOTTOM. 16:04:38;03 "
AT 2-YEARS-OLD...
REBECCA HAS PASSED THE 6-WEEK
COURSE..
LEARNING TO FLOAT...
" REACH AND GRAB MY HAND... NO"
BUT IT WASN'T AN EASY ROAD TO
TRAVEL.
" NO. 1-2-3. "
"THERE WAS MULTIPLE TIMES I WENT
HOME AND
TOLD MY HUSBAND WE ARE GOING TO
HAVE THE FIRST CHILD THAT FAILS
ISR. SHE IS NOT GOING TO
BE ABLE TO FLOAT. IT'S JUST NOT
GOING TO HAPPEN. SHE JUST CRIED
AND KICKED HER FEET.
THEN ALYSSA JUST WORKS WITH HER
AND SHE GETS IT. I FEEL LIKE
IT'S ME GIVING HER A LIFE
SKILL "
ISR ISN'T NEW,
BUT IT'S FAR FROM MAIN STREAM.
WHILE TRADITIONAL SWIMMING
LESSON TEACH YOUR KIDS
TO SWIM
ISR TEACHES YOUR CHILD TO
SURVIVE INCASE OF AN AQUATIC
EMERGENCY...
LIKE FALLING IN FULLY CLOTHED...
AND BEING ABLE TO ROLL OVER AND
FLOAT.
"17:16:44;06 -- DROWNING ISN'T
THRASHING
AROUND. IT'S SILENT. BECAUSE
YOUR CHILD, THERE'S THAT INITIAL
SPLASH, BUT THEN THEY
SINK. IF THEY AREN'T IN ISR
THEN THEY CAN'T GET THEMSELVES
UP. "
JUSTINE ZINGG'S DAUGHTER,
MILLER, IS JUST TWO YEARS OLD.
JUSTINE'S FAMILY SPENDS A LOT OF
TIME AROUND WATER... AND AS A
MOTHER...
DROWNING IS ONE OF HER BIGGEST
FEARS.
"
17:19:13;05
--- I MEAN YOU HOLD THEIR HAND
WHEN YOU CROSS THE STREET, SO
WHY WOULDN'T YOU GIVE
THEM SKILLS TO RESCUE THEMSELVES
IN THE WATER. "
"17:35:54:23 --- YEAH, THE FIRST
WEEK WAS TOUGH
WHEN I PUT MY DAUGHTER THROUGH,
BUT I'M LUCKY THAT I DON'T KNOW
THE
ALTERNATIVE WHICH IS DROWNING.
ALYSSA NEIDER IS JUST ONE OF
THREE CERTIFIED ISR INSTRUCTORS
IN WISCONSIN.
IN TWO YEARS...
SHE'S HAD 65 STUDENTS COMPLETE
THE 6-WEEK COURSE...
RANGING IN AGE FROM 6 MONTHS TO
6 YEARS OLD...
" 17:37:29:18 --- I GIVE THE
ANALOGY WHEN A CHILD
CRIES AND YOU HAVE A CARSEAT AND
THEY DON'T WANT TO GO INTO THE
CARSEAT YOU'RE NOT
JUST GOING TO PUT THEM IN THE
CAR AND NOT PUT THEM IN THE
CARSEAT. YOU'RE GOING TO PUT
THEM IN THAT CARSEAT AND YOU'RE
GOING TO STRAP THEM IN PROPERLY
BECAUSE IT'S THE SAFE
THING TO DO. 17:37:48:19"
ISR HAS BEEN SCRUTINIZED LATELY
IN SOCIAL MEDIA...
BECAUSE FOR SOME...
THE CRYING... COUGHING... AND
DISTRESS ON THESE LITTLE
FACES THAT ARE NEW TO THE
PROGRAM... IS UNNERVING... BUT
NEIDER STANDS BY HER TEACHINGS.
"17:43:44:01 --- IT'S NOT FOR
EVERY PARENT,, BUT
IT IS FOR EVERY CHILD 48:04 "
NO MATTER THE METHOD BY WHICH
YOUR CHILD LEARNS TO SWIM...
SHE CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH...
39:16 CHILDREN HAVE NO BUSINESS
BEING IN OR
AROUND WATER WITHOUT SKILLS AND
WITHOUT A PARENT WITH CONSTANT
EYES ON 46:26 EVEN IF
THEY HAVE ISR SKILLS THEY NEED
TO HAVE CONSTANT EYES ON NO
MATTER WHAT. 49:06
