More Than Swim Lessons.
Skills For Life.
Building confident, capable swimmers with life-saving skills and giving Austin families peace mind in and around the water.
Austin Families Trust Us With What Matters Most
ISR Austin is the original ISR Austin. For more than seven years, we’ve had the privilege of teaching thousands of children throughout the Austin area life-saving self rescue skills and building a lifelong love of the water.
Our gentle, individualized approach meets each child where they are, whether they're just getting comfortable in the water or ready to advance their swimming skills. We work with children of all abilities, including those with physical, developmental, and behavioral needs, and create a calm, supportive environment, where children can thrive.
Built on safety.
Driven by purpose.
Rooted in Austin.
We’re proud to be part of the Austin community, supporting local families, and helping to create a safer, stronger, more water-confident future for our children.
The Gold Standard in Self-Rescue
Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) has been the global leader in aquatic survival for more than 60 years. Founded by Dr. Harvey Barnett, ISR's evidence-based methodology teaches children to respond to an unexpected fall into water by rolling onto their back to float, or swim-float-swim to safety.
The ISR Austin Difference
Expert instruction matters. So does trust. We take the time to learn each child–their personality, their communication, their comfort, level, and what helps them succeed. Lessons are purposeful, but they're also patient, encouraging, and built around the child in front of us.
