Three times a year we hold a Pyjama Week, where our swimmers attend lessons in their pyjamas and learn vital lifesaving and personal survival skills, and in our autumn Pyjama Week (15th - 21st October this year), our swimmers raise money for charity.

Three times a year we teach a special lesson plan. Our children (and adults who are in the water) wear their pyjamas to replicate how it would feel to be in the water in your clothes - the most likely scenario if you fell in.

Our Technical Director, Ali Beckman has spent the last 2 years redeveloping our Baby & Pre-school programme and here she is to tell you exactly why what we do and the way we do it is truly ground breaking and a first in our industry.

Our friends at Sainsbury's Bank Money Matters blog have created this lovely animation with hints and tips about flying with your children.

Rebecca's nomination was picked by Vince Parker from Swimsure. Find out why she was nominated and why she won.

During our time here over the previous week, we have experienced many aspects of work at Duck HQ, and enjoyed it whilst learning.

Many of our activities are great fun for the little ones but they are picking up a personal survival or water safety skill without even realising.

We are extremely proud of our wonderful Technical Director Ali Beckman
