Daily Lesson Requirements

Established for the sole purpose of ensuring the welfare of all ISR students, these protocols are obligatory and I thank you in advance for your cooperation...

​

• No food or milk at least two hours before lessons.
• ​Food or milk consumed too close to lessons is a safety issue. 
• Foods to avoid for the duration of the lessons. 
  Please do not give these foods to your child for the duration of lessons; or limit these foods to Friday after lessons and Saturday: apples, apple sauce, apple juice, and any type of apple product. Be sure to read fruit juice box labels carefully. Apples are gas producing and can make your child very uncomfortable and impede lesson progress. I would be happy to explain this for further clarification.

• 3 Towel Rule.
  Please bring three large, clean towels to the pool each day, one towel covers the pool deck, the second is laid on top for your child to rest on after the lesson, and the third is to cover and dry off your child.
  
  
• One non-disposable swim diaper plus a second layer:  
  A washable, non-disposable swim diaper is required if your child has not been potty trained for more than 6 months. Buy at Target BabiesRUs, etc., or online. Speedo, iPlay (Target) and Charlie Banana are good brands--look for snug elastic around the legs and waist and wide crotch coverage. The second, inside layer, may be a second non-disposable swim diaper or a disposable one such as Huggies Little Swimmers. 

• Daily BUDS.
  Please be diligent in completely filling out the BUDS sheet poolside before each lesson; this sheet is to record bowel, urine, diet, and sleep patterns. It takes a little time and facilitates making the best decision for your child's lesson each day. We will discuss it prior to your child's lesson each day. Whoever brings your child to lessons must know your child's recent BUDS information for safety reasons. Your attention to detail and accuracy is important to ensure the safety of your child. If unsure of the importance or relevance of something concerning your child, please, always err on the side of caution: write it down and be sure to discuss it with me prior to the start of the lesson.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach your child ISR Aquatic Self-Rescue skills.
