Finally.....our son has graduated from his Infant Swim Resource class! I have never been so happy in my life because now I can stop driving every morning to swimming! It took nine weeks for his stubborn behind to finally realize that if he would just cooperate it would be over! I am so proud of him and feel 100% confident that if he fell in a pool that he would survive until I could get to him. In fact today we were out playing in the water slide and it was very full. There were two other friends playing with him and when he came down the slide he fell over into the pool and landed on his face! Immediately he flipped over on his back and then realized he could now get his footing back under him! It was unbelievable! This was probably the best money Brian and I have ever spent and we will definitely do ISR with our daughter! Watch the video of his floating. They do simulations that put them in the water face first or backwards as if they had fallen in a pool. The instructor says, that these are more difficult to come out of then if he fell in a pool. On graduation day they do NOT throw them in the pool, but they do have to be fully dressed with shoes and everything. This was a little difficult for Christian at first because the shoes throw them off in the beginning. They are not able to kick their feet as well when they are confined in shoes! However, he quickly learned what to do and it was no longer a problem! The video is crazy and if you have never seen ISR it will amaze you that a child could do this stuff!!!!!
