Let M be a Clifford torus in the 3-dimensional unit sphere \(S^ 3\) and let \(i: M\to S^ 3\) be the inclusion map. Suppose that \(\{f_ t\}\) is a smooth one-parameter family of isometric immersions of M into \(S^ 3\) with \(f_ 0=i\). In this paper, we prove that for each t, there exists an isometry \(\psi _ t\) of \(S^ 3\) such that \(f_ t=\psi _ t\circ i\).
