Powered by the LSF Method™, the Little Splash approach to early water safety.

40 Objectives

A clear, step-by-step skill map — so nothing is skipped and nothing is rushed.

  • Water comfort & trust: calm entries, face wetting, relaxed body in the water
  • Breath control: blowing bubbles, holding breath, and safe, gentle submersions
  • Floating: supported to independent back float, plus rolling from tummy to back
  • Wall & exit skills: turning to the wall, holding on, and climbing out safely
  • Water-safety habits: waiting for permission and understanding pool boundaries

Each objective builds on the one before it. Your child only moves forward when they are comfortable and consistent.

Who it’s for

Made for your littlest swimmer

  • Little ones roughly 1 to 2.5 years old
  • Children who are new to the water, or who are nervous around it
  • Families who want real water-safety skills without forcing or rushing
  • Parents who want clear, honest updates on how their child is progressing

After Little Splash Foundations™: Following completion, most swimmers are ready for group lessons. Coach Abrie will recommend the best next step for your child.

How it works

Two phases, 20 lessons

1. Acclimation

1 lesson / week · 4 lessons
Weeks 1 – 4 · Month 1

Building trust, comfort, and familiarity with the water, the pool, and their instructor. Play first, always.

2. Acceleration

2 lessons / week · 16 lessons
Weeks 5 – 12 · Months 2 – 3

With comfort in place, we pick up the pace — breath control, back floating, rolling to float, and safe entries and exits.

Graduation is based on our 40-objective checklist, with a 16-week flex window for illness pauses.

Our Philosophy

How Little Splash Foundations™ compares to other popular programs

Families often ask how Little Splash Foundations™ compares to ISR (Infant Swimming Resource). ISR has helped many children, and we deeply respect our shared goal: fewer drownings. Our approaches differ in pace and philosophy, so here's an honest side-by-side to help you choose what fits your family best.

Lesson schedule
ISR & similar: Short lessons (about 10 minutes), typically 5 days a week for several weeks.
Little Splash Foundations™: 20-minute private lessons — once a week in month 1, then twice a week in months 2–3.
Pace
ISR & similar: Intensive, daily repetition from the very first week.
Little Splash Foundations™: Acclimation first, then acceleration once your child feels comfortable and safe.
Feelings & tears
ISR & similar: Some upset is often considered an expected part of the process.
Little Splash Foundations™: When a child says "I'm not ready," we pause, comfort, and make a plan. Play-based, never forced.
Skills focus
ISR & similar: Centered on a single float sequence.
Little Splash Foundations™: 40 objectives: back floating plus water comfort, breath control, safe entries & exits, and a love of the water.
Progress
ISR & similar: Varies by instructor.
Little Splash Foundations™: Transparent progress across all 40 objectives, shared with you along the way.

Details for other providers vary by instructor and location — we encourage families to ask them directly.
