Hi! I'm Anna.
Mama of two and former Speech-Language Pathologist. I've lived in Charleston most of my life; always on the water, swimming and boating. Childhood water safety is a necessity for our community. In 2018, I read about a tragic drowning and began researching survival swim programs for my infant. After lots of research, I concluded that Infant Aquatics has a recognizably superior survival swim method, and to my surprise there was no one in Charleston offering these lessons! I felt called to get certified and bring this treasure back to not only my family, but our whole community. With family support and a baby in tow, I traveled to Longmont, CO for the six week training and proudly became a Certified Infant Aquatics Instructor.
I LOVE my job and want to equip as many children as possible with a fighting chance to survive a potentially fatal water accident.
Fun fact: I am an underwater limbo champ!
Hi! I'm Marisa.
I spent my childhood in Virginia Beach and have lived in Charleston for over 15 years. I enjoy spinning, running, yoga, and cooking. I dislike baking. I have previously worked in healthcare and senior living.
My oldest son completed swim lessons with Anna and it was truly amazing to see him go from timid and not swimming to confident around the water and now a little fish! The opportunity to work with Anna and teach children such a crucial life skill is very exciting and fulfilling.
My husband and I live on James Island with our two boys and Sheepadoodle named Larry David.
I teach refresher, maintenance and progression lessons to children who have previously graduated from a Swim-Float-Swim Course with Anna.
