Swimming Classes at Puddle Ducks Derbyshire
Cate and Olivia
Find out about baby swimming, toddler swimming and child swimming classes in and around Derby and Derbyshire.
Hello & a warm welcome to Puddle Ducks Derbyshire
I'm Cate and I am both proud and delighted to be bringing the Puddle Ducks experience to the Derby & surrounding areas. In my previous career I spent many years in sales and am happy to say that I now have a career which I am passionate about and I can't stop smiling !
I have been taking my daughter Olivia swimming since she was a 6 week old baby and I believe that joining the Puddle Ducks programme will be the most fun you will have with your child but you will also be learning a vital life saving skill and learning to swim too
I love being in the water and I adore children, so I am looking forward to meeting you & your precious little ones soon.
Take a look at our pools, I'm sure we have the ideal class for your little one.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions at all.

Olivia's Story
Cate and Olivia enjoying a cuddle in the water
Olivia is Franchisee Cate's daughter and they have been swimming together since she was 6 weeks old. Cate says "It’s fair to say we have never missed a week where we have swum together. (well apart from when she had Chicken Pox!) Being in the pool together has always been our favourite activity"
She continues "On holiday last year Olivia jumped in the pool on our first day, there was a gasp from the side of the pool as a man jumped in after her but was amazed to see her turn around and swim back to the side with a big grin on her face, I of course knew what she was capable of and how confident she is in the water and it’s all down to babies & toddlers swimming as early as possible. Needless to say the parents were impressed & I was a very proud Mummy."
I look forward to meeting yours babies & toddlers in the pool where we will learn new skills but have loads of fun too
