"Not One More Child Drowns"

ISR’s mission, “Not One More Child Drowns,” is the foundation of everything ISR does and is the driving force behind ISR’s employees, our independent ISR Instructors, and ISR's major corporate partnerships. ISR believes the successful prevention of the leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of 4 in the U.S. will require a large group of caring and capable professionals whose sole focus is to save lives. To date, ISR has delivered more than 7,750,000 ISR Self-Rescue lessons and saved more than 800 lives.

​

An important distinction between ISR and other programs is our emphasis on safety before, during and after lessons.

​

• Prior to beginning lessons, your child’s unique medical history is reviewed by a team of medical professionals to identify any potential health issues that may affect your child’s lessons and safety.

• During lessons: ISR’s protocols have allowed for more than 7 million lessons to be safely delivered by individually certified instructors.

• Parent education: Your child is not the only one learning during lessons. ISR’s program includes comprehensive parent education on aquatic safety and drowning prevention.
