Thank you to Pink Spaghetti

Underwater Pink Spaghetti Baby

We were thrilled when one of our customers pointed us to the 1st December 2009 blog entry on www.pinkspaghetti.co.uk. Puddle was there - fronting a lovely testimonial by business owner, and long-term Puddle Duck's customer Caroline Gowing.

Caroline said of Puddle Ducks "Puddle Ducks are specialist at what they do, but they are also parents, and they have a passion for getting it right. At 4 Charlotte was doing lifesaving skills, which are done regularly, and now at 5 she is confident doing front crawl, back stroke, breast stoke, treading water and more. As well as important life skill, and exercise, it is also fun and something loved by children - the perfect class!"

Thank you Caroline - we are thrilled that you have enjoyed your baby swimming classes with Puddle Ducks so much and we wish you lots of luck in your new venture.

Eight New Puddle Ducks Baby Swimming Teachers

Today, eight new Puddle Ducks baby swimming teachers earned their wings.

Top (L-R) are Sarah Roberts, Vanessa Watts, Luisa Mackey, Lindsay Mann and Liz Gabriel. Bottom (L-R) are Kerry Parr, Nicola Wilson and Tracey Hargraves.

All ladies have been in and out of the swimming pool and classrooms for seven days - often working twelve hour days. As Sarah told us at the end of the course: "we are all exhilarated but exhausted!"

The candidates were put through their paces by STA Baby Swimming Tutor and Puddle Ducks Technical Director, Ali Beckman. Ali was full of praise for the hard work and humour that all the candidates put into the course. Ali said "I am so excited that in this group are five amazing new franchisees and three fabulous teachers for the Mid Cheshire franchise. All of them will make fantastic teachers, spreading our Puddle Ducks teaching methods around the UK"
