Self Rescue baby, infant and child swimming lessons
Teach your child life saving skills with Infant Swimming Resource’s Self-Rescue™ program. ISR goes beyond traditional swimming instruction by teaching children self-rescue techniques designed to help them survive an accidental fall into the water. Children learn developmentally appropriate skills like holding their breath under water, turning on their back and floating unassisted in this dynamic, world renowned program.

The Greater Beverly YMCA offers individualized swimming instruction for infants and young children ages 6 months–6 years, teaching competence and confidence in the water.
