  Kelly

  Baby & Pre School Mondays

  I am a mum of two Harry and Sophie, when my little boy was born I knew I wanted to start swimming lessons with Puddle Ducks. I loved swimming as a child so much that my parents used to struggle to get me out of the water, so I wanted him to enjoy it too. He adored his lesson each week and I loved it too. I had decided not to go back to my job as a nursery nurse it would be long days for us both.  I saw an advertisement for a swimming teacher with Puddle Ducks, and the rest is history.

  I think being a Puddle Ducks swimming teacher is a brilliant job because I’m teaching children such an important life skill. I love it when the children are having fun and learning lots of new skills in their swimming lessons and it is so rewarding to see a child progressing and gaining the confidence in the water. It's also lovely when a parent who is nervous also gains and grows in confidence in the water along with their child.

  See you in the pool very soon. x

  Donna

  Baby & Pre-School - Wednesday & Thursday

  I've always enjoyed being in the water since I was little, so when I had my first son the idea of joining swim classes with my friends was fab! 

  My second son arrived soon after and also started lessons, I loved swimming with them and both Joel & Rhys continue to swim in our Swim Academy classes today. 

  When an opportunity to work with Puddle Ducks in the water was presented I jumped at the chance!!!

  I love seeing the children progress and really taking on board everything they have learnt. 

  I like to have fun and feel this is key to developing confident, happy and engaged children in the water.  From that we can show children how to be safe in and around the water, various different skills and develop their swimming technique all with added health benefits! 

  I love my job in the water and hope to share that enthusiasm with you!

  Paula

  Baby Pre-School - Sundays

  Paula discovered the wonderful world of Puddle Ducks when her daughter was just 8 weeks old. She joined our South Cheshire franchise firstly as a Poolside Assistant, and then trained to be a teacher. We were lucky to have her transfer to our Chester and Wirral team in 2017.

  She now swims in our classes with her three children each week (with the addition of her twin boys) as well teaching them, so there isn't a lot she hasn't experienced within Puddle Ducks.

  Paula has a wicked sense of humour, so you'll have a lot of fun in her classes. Her extensive experience as a Puddle Ducks mummy and teacher will mean your child always progresses each week.

  Roshene

  Baby & Pre-School - Tuesdays

  Roshene's aim is to give children and their parents water confidence which lasts a lifetime whilst having fun and being safe, be it in the sea, pool or open water.

  In her own words - 'I have thoroughly enjoyed each of my children's experiences in Puddle Ducks, from Floaties onwards and want to be able to give other parents this opportunity. Can't wait to see you in the pool!'
