Guidelines/Liability Waiver/Photo Release

Tracy's Guidelines:
Thank you enrolling your child with Infant Swimming Resource. The following Guidelines have been outlined and created to allow you to provide your child with the best and safest experience during his or her participation in ISR Lessons. Many of these Guidelines have been established based on 60+ years of research and experience. Thus, they exist to protect the health and well being of your child. Please review the following list carefully and address all questions to your instructor. THANK YOU!

Parent Resource Book -You will read in the PRB about the importance of your attitude and emotions for your child with regards to lessons. Please keep in mind that your child is constantly observing you and taking his or her emotional cues from you. Please maintain a positive, supportive attitude throughout your child’s ISR Lesson experience. If you are unable to remain upbeat poolside, then take a moment and walk away. If you have a question or a concern regarding lessons, please contact your instructor directly.

Diet is an important aspect of your child’s ISR Lesson Experience. Your child should not eat or drink within 2 hours of their lesson time slot. In addition, infants and toddlers should avoid apple & pear products throughout the duration of their ISR Lessons. They cause gas and bloating that will make the floating and swimming maneuvers practiced during ISR lessons more difficult and sometimes painful. Please review the Diet section of your ISR PRB for more information.

Two Forms of Protection - All children who are not potty trained must wear two of the following items: a reusable swim diaper like the ISR version delivered through the Pro Shop and another similar swim diaper or a disposable swim diaper underneath. This helps to eliminate fecal and urine contamination of the swimming pool and deck. If you don't have your ISR swim diaper yet, two other forms of protection can be used like a disposable swim diaper and plastic pants with elastic on all openings on top. Please have your child use the restroom at your home before coming to lessons as there may not be on-site restrooms available depending on the location.

**Please be prepared to take your diapers home with you in a bag. I am asking that no more diapers be put in our trash cans since I’ve had to fish them out often because they are thrown in open and get stuck to my can. You may think 1 diaper isn’t a big deal but on my side it can be 20 diapers for me. This will also help with keeping germs contained. Thank you!

For your child’s safety we require every parent to bring three (3) towels to each lesson. The use of three towels on the pool deck helps to reduce the risk of spreading communicable disease. Please read your PRB for more information regarding this protocol. Your instructor can also explain this necessity for you if you haven’t received your packet from ISR. The first towel is to protect your child on the deck, the second towel is to protect the deck from a fecal leak or to catch any spit up and the third for covering and drying your child. YOU MUST adhere to this rule or your child will not swim that day. No make-up lesson in this case.

Videotaping of Lessons is allowed once a week on Fridays.

Conduct: Please keep all children, not currently participating in lessons, seated quietly with you. Do not allow them in or near the water. It is distracting and unsafe to the instructor and student in the water if other children are running around or trying to play in the water.

Parking is available on the street or in the circle part of the driveway. Please do not park on the right portion of the driveway. When parking in the circle drive, please pull all the way over as far as you can toward the house so others can get around you. You may enter into the pool area from the right side gate on the property. Please try to come ahead of time to prepare for your lesson. PLEASE get your child ready for lessons at/in your car and come in ready to go a few mins before lessons. Only 1 adult per lesson time please.
COVID-19:
Covid-19 Specific Safety Considerations for ISR Lessons

The following suggestions are general best practices and guidelines for creating the safest possible environment for our students. Necessary precautions will vary based on the type of facility and the recommendations from local health authorities. Geographical location and the status of the virus outbreak in local communities will likely dictate the level of precautions that will be necessary at any given time.

Ongoing communication with parents including:
- Daily determination if parents or anyone in the household has had any fever, cough or shortness of breath in the last 14 days.
- Daily determination if parents or anyone in the household has had known exposure or close contact with anyone that has or is suspected of having Covid-19.
- Daily determination if parents or anyone in the household has traveled to a high risk area.
Facility/Pool area precautions:
- Have hand sanitizer available for anyone coming to the pool area.
- Open doors/gates to prevent the need for touching doors/knobs/latches (this does not include areas with direct access to unsupervised pools).
- Consider removing shoes prior to entering indoor facilities.
- Eliminate any eating/drinking from from the facility or pool area.
- Request financial transactions/payments online instead of cash.
Before the Lesson:
- All BUDS interviews should be fully facilitated by the Instructor. Only the Instructor should handle any electronic devices, paper forms, notebooks, files, pens or stylus. The parent does not need to sign/initial the daily BUDS interview.
- Consider temperature BUDS monitoring for all students. Require parents to take their child's temperature within an hour of lessons. See ISP 1T Temperature Monitoring for fever parameters.
- Self-check pool chemistry daily and keep a written record. See ISP 33 Pool Sanitation for suggested chemical levels.
- No poolside visitors- only one adult per student, especially for indoor pools. If you need more than one adult, please have them stand outside the pool area if possible. If 2 parents are needed for help please come in pool area and stay in one area near the other parent avoiding moving around. Designate an area where any siblings that must accompany the parent can safely sit.
- Parents should arrive no more than 10 minutes before lesson with their child fully dressed in swim attire.
During the Lesson:
- Wear waterproof facial coverings, if needed in your area, including shields designed to prevent or limit splatter or droplets. A cloth mask could be worn under the shield but should not be touched and should be changed if wet or otherwise contaminated. This could also be decided between parents and instructors as for what is best for their lesson.
- Maintain a minimum distance of 6ft from any other Instructors or anyone else in or around the pool. Please know these are suggestions, parents and instructors can chose their level of comfort on shield/mask wearing.
After the Lesson:
- Enforce the 3 towel rule and encourage parents to exit the pool area as soon as possible once the child is placed onto their towel, after an adequate rest period.
- Parents should not wring out swim diapers in the pool or around the deck area. Any disposable swim diapers, diapers or any other trash should be placed in a bag and taken home by the parent.
In-between Lessons:
- Allow adequate time between families such that only one family is in the facility/area at a time.
- Properly wash your hands between students.
- Sanitize any shared surfaces/areas between students.
Instructor and Student Health:
- Instructors should take their own temperature daily prior to teaching. See ISP 1T Temperature Monitoring for fever parameters.
- Instructors experiencing any signs of illness should cancel lessons, including any early signs of Covid-19 such as fever, cough, tiredness or shortness of breath.
- Instructors with known exposure to Covid-19 should cancel lessons and follow recommendations of their healthcare provider.
- Closely monitor student health through thorough BUDS data collection and parent communication. Cancel lessons for any signs of student illness.
- Educate parents to inform Instructor about any signs of impending illnesses prior to leaving for the pool.

ISR COVID-19 Waiver of Liability
Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. As a Certified ISR Instructor and owner of ISR Kids Float, I have put in place preventative measures to mitigate the risk of exposure to COVID-19, ISR has released guidance and additional safety measures I’ve implemented as additional layers of protection, and will continually update, as warranted, protocols, practices, and guidance in an effort to be as safe as possible; however, it would be impossible to guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not be exposed to COVID-19. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, other program participants, and/or their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance or participation (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless both Tracy Falconer as well as ISR Kids Float, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in ISR Lessons.
