Teacher of the Term Summer 2010
Jen Scheuber
Jen Scheuber from Puddle Ducks South Cheshire was delighted to learn that she has been awarded the Puddle Ducks Teacher of the Term for Summer 2010.
The competition, which was run through the Puddle Ducks customer newsletter and Facebook page, was judged by Sam Willoughby, Director of What’s on 4 Little Ones.
This is what Sam had to say:
“Wow! That is an honour - and what a hard task! All
the teachers have such lovely, heart-felt nominations. You can feel
the appreciation coming right off my screen from all the parents
who have taken the time and trouble to nomination.

Underwater Photographer Earns his Puddle Ducks' Wings!
Colin
Puddle Ducks underwater photographer from Colex Photography, Colin Farrow, spent an intensive week at the beginning of June, training to become a Puddle Ducks teacher.
It was another fabulous course, run by our technical director, Ali Beckman. Colin trained alongside two further Mid Cheshire teachers, our newest franchisee (Jo Gribben for East Lancs) and Chester's Ryan Forster.
We caught up with Colin after the training to ask him all about it:
How did you first get involved in baby swimming?
I have been involved with Puddle Ducks for a number of years as I have taken both over water and under water photographs of the babies and children.

Earlier this month, Ali, a keen and competitive swimmer herself, was delighted to be invited to a Masters class with Duncan Goodhew. Afterwards, she chatted to Duncan and told him all about Puddle Ducks. Ali said later “Wow, he is such a fabulous guy. So passionate about swimming and an inspiration to all swimmers, young and old!
