Meet Our New Dabblers Teachers

Ali, Jim and Charlie - our new wonderful Dabblers teachers!

I think every teacher must have a favourite programme to teach. 

For some it is the tiny, tiny Floaties with their adoring, and often rather nervous, parents.  Fo others it is Splashers or Kickers as these babies and toddlers start to realise how much fun it is in the water.  More importantly, they start to realise just what they are capable of.

For other teachers it is the thrill of a new and nervous Little Dipper letting go for the first time, or putting their face confidently into the water.

We've Been Baby Swim Teachers for a Whole Week!

Our fourteen new baby swimming teachers say "Hi!"

It's just a week since our fourteen fabulous new baby swim teachers completed their Puddle Ducks training.  Last Friday, they all went home exhausted, and exhilerated.  Now they can sit back and think "I'm a baby swimming teacher!  For Puddle Ducks! I've been a Puddle Ducks baby swimming teacher for a WHOLE WEEK!"

I was lucky enough to examine many of them for their STA qualification on the Thursday, and then examine our two newest franchisees (Carolyn Sharpe - franchisee for Newcastle and Kate Attwood - franchisee for Worcestershire) on the Friday.

Christmas in October?!!

..don't forget to listen to our theme tune on the website too!

Well, it's the first of October and already I am hearing friends tell me how many Christmas presents they have not only bought, but even WRAPPED!

I guess we all fall broadly into two camps - "organised" or "last minute"  - and I confess to being strictly in the latter.  I love mulling over ideas, and listening to the ideas of my girls during the Autumn months, but really dislike purchasing (much) before December.  By then though, I know just what I want.
