Kiddoswim is an infant and young-child survival swim program operating in the Nashville, Tennessee area. The program is built on Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) methodology, providing ISR Self-Rescue lessons focused on drowning prevention and water safety. Lessons are taught by Amber Moore, an ISR Certified Swim Instructor serving the Nashville region. The program emphasizes one-on-one instruction between the instructor and the child, and describes its philosophy as prioritizing “competence, which leads to confidence.” Its purpose is to teach infants and young children survival swimming skills that allow them to reach a point of safety in the water.
Services
Kiddoswim offers ISR Self-Rescue survival swim lessons structured around the age and developmental stage of each child. According to the site, lessons are held four days per week, Monday through Thursday, for ten minutes each day, across a six-week course. For children ages 6 to 18 months, the program teaches them to roll onto their backs to float, rest, and breathe while maintaining position until help arrives. For children ages 18 months to 6 years, the program teaches the “swim-float-swim” sequence: swimming with the head down and eyes open, rolling onto the back to float, rest, and breathe, then rolling back over to resume swimming until reaching safety. In addition to survival lessons, Kiddoswim offers maintenance lessons, swim lesson gift certificates, and CPR and choking-skills classes described as “Parent & Me.” The site also features a shop with merchandise including swim diapers, towels, wet/dry bags, hooded towel ponchos, and t-shirts.
About
ISR, the method behind Kiddoswim, was founded in 1966 by Dr. Harvey Barnett. The organization states it has produced “over 300,000 ISR graduates and over 800 documented survival stories,” and its protocols are described as research-based, emphasizing the swim-float-swim technique. Amber Moore delivers the lessons locally as an ISR Certified Swim Instructor.
According to the site, Amber Moore is based in Nashville and serves the East Nashville and Mt. Juliet areas. Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, she relocated to Nashville in 2016 with her husband, Zach. In addition to her ISR certification, she is a Board Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant licensed in Tennessee. Her background includes competitive swimming from ages 6 to 17 and three years as a swim coach in Charlotte, where she led a team to two championships. The site states her transition to ISR instruction was motivated by recognition of a local instructor shortage and an emphasis on child safety.
