A huge shout out to Béatrice, who has graduated from Level 6 in our Swim Academy programme.
Béatrice, aged just seven, from North Somerset, joins a very small number of swimmers who have reached this level at such a young age, making this a truly remarkable achievement.
Béatrice first joined Puddle Ducks when she was just 3 months old, and over the years has progressed through every level of our swimming programme, developing her skills and confidence along the way.
Jennifer, Béatrice’s former swimming teacher, comments:
“Bea has benefited from swimming with a variety of amazing teachers over the years, and I’ve been so lucky to be one of them. She’s one of the most determined swimmers I’ve ever met - flying through the levels and constantly pushing herself to reach the next milestone.
“As she reached Elite Swim Academy, everything clicked - her technique, confidence, and that not-so-secret competitive spirit! Bea takes on anything new with such enthusiasm, and those skills will serve her brilliantly as she joins the swimming club. I’m sure we’ll see her at future competitions, most likely storming through a Front Crawl sprint! Well done Bea – and good luck!”
From tiny splashes to big strokes!
Béatrice’s parents commented on her fantastic swimming milestone:
“Béatrice has loved swimming with Puddle Ducks from the very start, and it has been amazing to see her grow into such a strong and confident swimmer. When she attended her swim club trials, she was complimented on her excellent strokes and welcomed with open arms! We are so grateful to Puddle Ducks for giving Béatrice such a fantastic start in swimming.”
Sarah Austin, Franchise Owner of Puddle Ducks Bristol and Bath, added:
“We’re all incredibly proud of Béatrice. Achieving Level 6 at just seven years old is an amazing accomplishment and a real testament to her hard work and determination!
“Béatrice has shown what’s possible when children start swimming early, build confidence in the water, and have inspiring teachers to guide them. Her journey is proof that with the right support and encouragement, young swimmers can achieve extraordinary things. We’re all wishing her the very best of luck as she takes this exciting next step.”
We are excited to confirm that Béatrice is continuing to perfect her strokes as she joins Bristol Henleaze Swimming Club.
Good luck Bea from everyone at Puddle Ducks Bristol & Bath!
