This class is designed for adults of all experience levels - from people who never learned to swim to those wanting stronger confidence and better technique. 

ISR goes beyond traditional swimming. ISR teaches very young children techniques designed to help them survive should they find themselves in the water alone. Only one parent per child allowed on the pool deck during these lessons. 

Lessons are 10 minutes in length at various times during the day.

Children under 1 year come for 4 weeks; children older than 1 year come for 6 weeks.

There are no specific "courses" listed below because this program is BY APPOINTMENT only. Please contact the LJCC to discuss available lesson times.

These classes help young children acclimate to the water with the comfort and security of parent/parents present. Children are introduced to basic water skills such as blowing bubbles, breath control, kicking, and floating. Students who are not potty trained should wear disposable swim diapers in addition to a reusable/washable swim diaper OR a disposable diaper with a snug-fitting swimsuit around the legs. Lifeguards are always on the pool deck during swim lessons.

Only one parent/caregiver is allowed in the water during class. All other parents are asked to please wait outside of the pool area during their child's swim lesson.
