Puddle Ducks turned 15 in October and Ali was the company’s very first employee, joining as a swimming teacher in March 2005.

Puddle Ducks is 15!

When Puddle Ducks was founded, Facebook, Twitter and the iPhone didn’t exist, Pluto was still a planet, and a 17-year-old Michael Phelps was 2 years away from his first Olympic gold!

15 years later, Puddle Ducks is one of the largest swim schools in the UK, teaching just under 20,000 babies, toddlers and children to swim each week in England, Wales and Scotland.

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 (16th - 22nd October this year), our swimmers raise money for charity.
