About the pool

Pool Dimensions: 13x6 m

Parking: On entering the driveway the house gates should be open (please press the intercom if not) keep to the right & park in a row on the left hand side facing the lawn. Once parked follow the Puddle Duck signs around the back of the house & use the rear entrance to the pool.Please remove outdoor shoes & leave on the mat near the door.
There are 3 steep steps as you get close to the pool this will be difficult to navigate with a pushchair so please leave this in the car & be very careful with toddlers & carrying babies. We hope to provide a ramp for this soon.
About the teachers
Nadia Soar
Nadia joined Puddle Ducks as a customer with her daughter Sophie-Mai in our Little Dippers class, she was so impressed with our classes that she pursued her "dream job" (her words) & has trained to teach for us. Nadia has a wonderful manner with babies & children & will soon have her little swimmers & parents brimming with confidence, Her smile is pretty awesome too. Nadia will welcome you to her class with open arms !
Cate Woodrow-Smith
Cate’s fun loving personality, natural warmth & love of children are all great qualities for a teacher. However the real buzz comes from seeing a Floatie develop & progress to their first totally independent swim, it’s a real WOW factor and makes her so proud.
Ann-Marie Mc Millan
Ann-Marie was so impressed by her Splasher (Daughter Ailsa) in our class that she just knew she would love to teach our baby & toddler swimming classes & share her passion for swimming & having fun in the water. Ann-Marie looks forward to welcoming your little one’s in her classes & developing their swimming & water safety skills too.
