How To Find the Right Instructor

• TRUST rating acts to supplement other swimming credentials and approaches. Please verify your choosen instructor's outside credentials.
• Availability of instructors and the student's age are going to be the most important factors in choosing an instructor.
• TRUST rated instructors have been exposed to the same ideological approach but not every TRUST rated instructor implements this approach as effectively as others. Refer to instructor ratings to get a better understanding of how effective an instructor will be at meeting your needs.

For students under age 7:

- When available, we would recommend finding an TRUST rated Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) instructor.

- If there are no ISR instructors in your area, then choose a TRUST rated instructor who teaches the survival sequence swim-float-swim promoted by organizations like ISR.

- Finding a TRUST rated instructor is particularly important for students 3 year and older.

For students over age 7:

- When available, choose a TRUST rated Miracle Swimming Institute (MSI) instructor or TRUST rated Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) instructor.

- However, when not available, a TRUST rated instructor is going to be best suited to meet your needs.

What to do if you can't find a TRUST rated instructor near you?

- The program is set up with the idea of making it easy for instructors everywhere to get and learn the information.
