Private Infant Swim Lessons in Cypress, TX

Hi, I’m Carmen Ankrah, a certified Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) instructor serving families in Cypress, Texas. Through Born Aware Swim, I provide individualized, private survival swim lessons that help infants and young children build body awareness, confidence, and safe responses in the water.
Before becoming an ISR instructor, I worked as a respiratory therapist, caring for patients during serious breathing emergencies, including drowning incidents. That experience shaped my passion for water safety and led me to ISR, where I now teach children the skills that can truly make a difference in an emergency.



Most children attend lessons Monday–Friday for about 4–6 weeks, depending on their age, readiness, and individual progress.
ISR lessons are designed for infants as young as 6 months through 6 years old. Each lesson is tailored to your child’s developmental stage.
It’s completely normal for some children to need time to adjust to a new environment and new skills. Lessons are gentle, structured, and guided at your child’s pace as they build confidence in the water.
As your child becomes more comfortable and confident, the initial fussing typically decreases.
Lessons take place in my heated home pool in Cypress (West & Fry area), providing a calm and controlled learning environment.
Consistency is important for skill development, but I do my best to work with families on occasional absences when possible.
