What is isr swimming?

ISR (Individual Swim Rescue) is a method of rescuing a drowning victim without the use of flotation devices or rescue equipment. It involves swimming to the victim and using a combination of holds, carries, and propulsion techniques to safely bring them to shore. ISR was developed by Australian swim coach Laurie Lawrence in the 1980s and has since become a popular method of water safety and rescue training. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing drowning signs, risk management, and skill development for swimmers of all ages and abilities. ISR techniques can be used in both open water and pool settings and are often taught through specialized training programs and certification courses.
