Hi-

I'm an ISR instructor based in Arlington, TX. One of my team members is an ISR instructor in Rockwall. Her name is Donna Penney. We train children ages 6mos to 6yrs old water rescue skills. My son went through this program as a floater so as a mom I can attest to the success of this program. This summer I can't wait to get my son back in the water to teach him the swim-float-swim sequence. See below for more information about what the children will learn.

Some information about the program includes:
Survival Float (ages 6-12 months)
Babies 6 to 12 months old are very active and surprisingly quick! The Rollback-to-Float program introduces the correct floating posture for survival as well as the skills necessary to maneuver into a float. Babies learn quickly from their physical environment. This is how they learn to crawl and walk. But water is an unforgiving environment. For this reason aquatic survival skills for the infant and toddler must be taught by a certified ISR instructor. These skills will be practiced for complete mastery even while fully clothed with diaper and shoes. All lessons are taught one-on-one for no more than 10 minutes daily, Monday-Friday. Approximate class length: 3-4 weeks.

Swim-Float-Swim (ages 13 months to 6 years old)
The Swim-Float-Swim program encompasses the skills necessary for a child to reach the steps, edge of the pool or shore. This includes swimming and floating. This process begins with teaching the child breath control and the skills to turn around in the water to grab the edge. As the child becomes capable of longer swims the rollback-to-float is taught so the child can rest and breathe, and then continue swimming. This sequence can be repeated indefinitely until the child reaches safety. These skills will be practiced for complete mastery even while fully clothed with shoes and diaper for those not toilet trained. All lessons are taught one-on-one for no more than 10 minutes daily, Monday-Friday. Approximate class length: 5-6 weeks.

We absolutely love what we do and are dedicated to preventing babies from drowning by giving them the skills they need to protect themselves in water. If you want more information about the program you can visit my website at www.mybabycanswim.com or the national website at www.infantswim.com. On the national website you can enter in your zip code to find an instructor near you. Hope that helps!

I know Galaxy Ranch has an indoor pool and swimming lessons but I'm not sure if it's offered to anybody or if your kid has to attend school there or not. Might be worth a call, though. Their number is ###-###-####.

The YMCA on 205. I believe for 2's they make you do a parent/tot class. But I'm not postive.
