Question 1

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

I offer lessons at two different locations. See which location works best for you on the Locations (https://emilyenolan1.wixsite.com/isr-hershey/locations)tab of this website.

Question 2

How many days a week are lessons and how long is each session?

Accepted Answer

Lessons are attended 10 minutes a day, 5 consecutive days a week for approximately 6 weeks. The consistency of daily lessons is critical for learning efficiency. These are NOT traditional swim lessons! We are teaching highly specialized skills and it is very important to attend class every day. If you cannot commit to this schedule, you may not register until you are sure you can.

Question 3

We are only available on weekends. Do you have weekend lessons?​

Accepted Answer

Lessons are 5 consecutive days a week so you will always need to attend lessons on weekdays. Currently and for the foreseeable future, we will be operating on a Mon-Fri schedule.

Question 4

If I enroll my child in a Fall or Winter session, will they forget by Summer?

Accepted Answer

ISR Hershey encourages families to consider lessons in the "off season" to arm their child with aquatic skills BEFORE pools begin to open for the summer. It is for this reason that Fall & Winter are the sessions that have the most slots for new students, but a common hesitation from parents is that the child will forget if they don't learn right before swim season.

Luckily ISR Self-Rescue Skills are a sensorimotor skill- just like crawling, walking, or riding a bike. Sensorimotor skills are not simply forgotten, although they can certainly get rusty without use.

This is why I will encourage you to return for Refresher and Maintenance lessons periodically after your child’s initial learning. These follow up learning opportunities will ensure your little one gets to adjust their skills to their rapid growth and will keep things sharp.

Most importantly, regardless of what season your child learns in, maintenance will be recommended. So it's advised to get into lessons as soon as you are able vs waiting for the perfect time- the sooner the safer.
