"Even after a full year without lessons, ISR students retain between 94% - 96% of the skills they have learned. " That's really impressive, but on the other hand, I have never heard of anyone who learned how to swim and then forgot it. :) Also, $105 registration fee plus $100 per week (5 days, 10 minute per day). That's $120+ per hour. We are all in the wrong profession. :-D

yeah, but our liability insurance is far cheaper too.

Let's see, the instructor is teaching one child at a time on how to float in the pool (10 minutes only), the insurance company will probably be ashamed of charging for liability insurance (typically they are ashamed of nothing, I know, I work for one). :-D

A bit overpriced. My local YMCA has classes for kids as young as 6 months old at $135 for 10 half hour lessons.

Apparently newborn humans naturally know how to swim. Submerge them in water and they will naturally hold there breath and swim.

He's 3 now and taking lessons and he can barely get his head underwater, but he is learning. My mistake he fell in in the first place. :sigh:

There are tons of "cute" video where we can see babies under water, with eyes and mouth wide open and just having a blast!! I can't really say they are swimming, but they just float there for a few seconds until the parents pick them up and bring them above water!

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know. -- Ernest HemingwayYes - the body has an automatic mechanism that stops you from breathing if your face is in the water. So if you lie unconscious in the water face down you are more likely to suffocate than drown. Having been a keen freestyle swimmer for some years it was apparent that most people swam badly not because they could not swim, but because they were poorly trained . Basically what this training seems to entail is merely supporting the child to do what they can do naturally.
You always pass failure on the way to success.

harumph... :) Chris is in Gymnastics, team competition. In the process of doing floor, bar, horse, rings, etc events he looks almost as bruised as I did at his age, which is saying a lot. But his asthma doesn't stop him either. He's a kid, so gets frustrated at times, but he also has great patience and determination at others. When he gets injured the world doesn't end, it gets dealt with and the plan is immediate for what happens after to move on. the focus never remains on any injury large or small.

hey, that was why they filmed it in New Mexico. Three quarters of the US population will assume it was filmed outside the country and not even give it a thought about legality. ;P

Man, that's really impressive. I've been taking my 18 month old son to lessons but he is nowhere in that toddlers neighborhood.

You wouldn't believe how many people I talk to who don't realize that New Mexico != Mexico. Well, El Corazon probably would, he lives here too. Why do we still have to pay taxes if we live in a different country, Mr. Heart?
Please don't bother me... I'm hacking right now. Don't look at me like that - doesn't anybody remember what "hacking" really means? :sigh:

Really, why? Much of the world's children experience far worse on an hourly basis than those children did in their entire lives including the show.
