Children of the Sound is the first private swim school of Fairfield County. We emphasize gentle and patient encouragement to help children progress at their own levels of learning readiness. Facilities have comfortable seating around the pool so that parents and siblings can watch their swimmers’ progress. We believe that regular and consistent exercise, such as swimming, greatly improves a child's health, and promotes coordination and concentration. Most of all, we make it fun! We are growing as we expand into Rye, NY.
Infant Swimming Resource
Dena Blum-Rothman, Certified ISR Instructor
203-795-9600
Using ISR’s self-rescue swimming method, children as young as 6 months can learn to save themselves from drowning. In a country where drowning is the #1 killer of infants and toddlers under the age of 4, parents cannot afford to choose a swimming lesson method that fails to teach their child self-rescue skills. At ISR, we integrate skills that are developmentally appropriate for young children, teaching them to save their own lives while building the confidence that can lead to a lifetime of fun in and around the water.
