Meet Ms. Ann: Where a Lifetime of Teaching Meets a Passion for Water Safety

Meet the heart behind Deep Water Infant Aquatics®, Ann Enoch—an experienced educator, swim coach, and Infant Aquatics® survival swim instructor dedicated to giving children the skills, confidence, and independence they need to be safer in and around the water.

Ann’s passion for water safety led her to complete intensive training in the Infant Aquatics® program, a specialized approach to survival swimming for infants and young children. Her training combined extensive hands-on instruction in the water with coursework in areas including child development, behavioral psychology, infant physiology, and aquatic safety.

At Deep Water Infant Aquatics®, survival swimming is at the heart of what Ann teaches. Beginning as young as six months, swimmers receive private, one-on-one instruction designed around their age, developmental readiness, and individual abilities.

But no two children learn exactly the same way. Ann’s background as a professional educator allows her to recognize each swimmer’s individual learning style, adjust her approach, build trust, and celebrate progress at the child’s pace. Her goal isn't simply to teach children how to swim—it is to help give them practical skills they can use if they unexpectedly find themselves in the water.

Ann is also Certified in the Swim Whisperers® Program Level 1, with specialized training for working with individuals who have autism, anxiety, sensory needs, motor challenges, or those who learn differently. This training further enhances her ability to modify instruction and create an environment where a wider range of swimmers can learn, progress, and thrive.

Before founding Deep Water Infant Aquatics®, Ann spent more than 26 years as an educator, earning state and national recognition for excellence in teaching. She also spent more than a decade as a USA Swimming coach, developing competitive swimmers and helping young athletes reach their potential.

Today, all of those experiences come together in the water.

Deep Water Infant Aquatics® is survival swimming first. Ann combines specialized Infant Aquatics® training, decades of teaching experience, an extensive competitive swimming and coaching background, and adaptive teaching strategies to provide highly individualized instruction for every swimmer who enters her pool.

While Infant Aquatics® is in the name, Ann works with swimmers of all ages—from babies learning their first survival skills to older children building water competency and stroke development, as well as individuals who may benefit from a more specialized approach.

For Ann, the mission is simple: give children the skills to be safer, more confident, and more capable in the water—one swimmer at a time.
