Rising Tide Swim

Rising Tide Swim provides Infant Swim Resource (ISR) survival swimming lessons for children aged six months and older on California’s Monterey Peninsula. Led by owner and instructor Desiree Choy, the local service helps infants and young children build practical water-survival skills through individualized, research-based instruction. ISR lessons teach children how to respond if they enter the water alone, with methods that consider each child’s development, sensory learning, behavior, and emotional wellbeing.

Rising Tide Swim describes its program as a way to help children learn self-rescue skills while developing comfort and confidence in the water. The instructor’s approach also involves parents, supporting families as children progress through lessons. The website shares a typical schedule of ten minutes per day, five days a week, for six weeks, while inviting families to check current lesson information and sign up. In addition to lessons, Rising Tide Swim provides information about ISR, answers common questions, and works with community organizations. Its mission reflects the broader ISR goal of preventing childhood drownings through survival swimming education.
