How do I register my child or get more information?

Click Here to Complete the Contact Form.  Filling out this form will help expedite the registration process to get your child into lessons as soon as possible.  Once we receive this, we will follow up within 24-48 hours and send you an information package on the program (including current instructor fees) and the link necessary to actually register for lessons through the ISR National Office.

National Registration

All students must complete the registration process through the National ISR office prior to starting their first in-water lesson.  Registration forms must be filled out and paid for online.  If you have scheduling concerns, please address them with me prior to completing this registraton as the National Organization will not refund registration fees. Once you have completed the Contact Form, your instructor will send you an information package containing their personal instructor code to register online.

 The ISR National Registration fee is $105.00 initially, then $35.00 annually for refresher students, which will cover the cost of a screening procedure to assess the physical and developmental readiness of your child, & will be paid online via Pay Pal or credit card to the ISR National Office when you submit the National Registration form

Once you have completed the registration process,  the national office will contact your instructor and send her your child’s information.  You will then get a confirmation from your instructor for a lesson start date and time.  Soon after you receive your e-mail approval, you will receive a voucher for a swim diaper (if needed) and t-shirt in your welcome email.  If you haven’t received your email with your kit coupon code and registration form, check your spam folder to see if it may have been blocked by the spam filters.

Take your coupon code to www.ISRSealStore.com where you can use it to redeem one ISR Children’s shirt and one washable, re-usable swim diaper per child registered. Apply the code during the checkout process and be sure to spend the full value of the coupon, it cannot be less. You are welcome to purchase additional items and add them to your order, if you desire.

In addition to teaching your child, ISR has developed a complete program of parent education concerning many facets of drowning prevention. The Parent Resource Guide is available to all parents registering their children in the program and it includes such topics as attitude and emotions, physiology and safety before, during and after the lessons, family aquatic safety and other valuable information.

Once you have competed the registration and approval process you are ready to begin lessons with your instructor.

Instructor Fees

Instructor Fees are paid to your instructor each week on Monday. Complete the Contact Form for further program information and details including current instructor fees.  A limited number of scholarships are awarded each year.  Ask your instructor for details if you would like to apply.

Attendance Policy

Consistency is crucial when learning survival swimming skills. Bringing your child every day will increase the rate of progress and retention of skills. Lessons are not pro-rated and you are required to pay for all scheduled lessons. Remember you are paying for a time slot and it is important that you strictly adhere to the attendance policy as there is most likely another student waiting for your child’s time slot.

Lessons cancelled by the Instructor (for instructor illness, weather, pool closures, vacation, etc.) are fully credited back to you. If you need special arrangements or have a planned vacation, please feel free to discuss this with your instructor.
