Catherine
Thursday Swim Academy Instructor
I've always loved swimming, growing up it was a huge part of my life, I swam competitively for my county and for fun with my family.
When we had our first child it was important we got him swimming as soon as we could. We wanted him to learn water safety skills whilst having as much fun as possible. That's when I fell in love with Puddle Ducks... our teacher was fantastic, she was enthusiastic, passionate and very patient and understanding with the babies and parents. I was already having serious doubts about wanting to return to my job in finance. My outlook on life changed dramatically when I became a mum and I longed for a job that I could love doing, I haven't looked back since!
I've been teaching just over 8 years now. During that time I've qualified to teach our Aquanatal, Baby and Pre-school, Swim Academy and Elite programmes. I love the fact that at Puddle Ducks we offer a complete swimming journey. Puddle Ducks has also given me opportunities to progress. I've been fortunate to be appointed Senior Teacher and Technical Manager within our franchise. It's an incredibly fun and rewarding job to have and I feel privileged to be part of such an amazing journey with my customers.
All 3 of my children loved their Puddle Ducks lessons, it was the highlight of their week and I love that they are as passionate about swimming as I am!
