Meet The Team

Nicola Codd - Franchise Owner

I launched Puddle Ducks baby and pre school swimming classes in Doncaster and South Humberside in 2014 and since then I have had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of babies and children.

I really do believe that there is no greater skill you can teach your child. I began taking my eldest son Chester to swimming classes when he was five months old and I saw the benefits to both myself and him. His confidence grew and I adored being in the water with him, watching his skills develop.

I introduced my second son Seb, to Puddle Ducks when he was approximately a year old and he loved it, he blossomed and I could already see the benefits after just a few lessons.

My daughter, now 8 years old, came to Puddle Ducks weekly classes from being only a month old and loved it straight away. She swam 5 metres aged 3 years old and 10 metres and age 4. She is like a fish and has been a very strong swimmer since she left Puddle Ducks to join a swimming club.

As well as teaching valuable water safety skills, our classes are fun too and I love seeing your little ones progress.

Tina Cawood - Office Manager

I joined Puddle Ducks as a customer when my little boy was 5 months old (he is 2 and a half years now) and loved the classes and the whole ethos of Puddle Ducks, especially how they teach babies/children such an important life skill. When an opportunity came up to work for Puddle Ducks I immediately jumped at the chance to join the team.

My role as the Office Manager is mainly focused on customer service, dealing with new enquiries, bookings, queries and above all ensuring our customers are getting the best experience from swimming with Puddle Ducks!

When not working I enjoy spending time with my two favourite boys (My husband and son) and our two dogs, as well as socialising with family and friends - with an occasional glass of prosecco thrown in for good measure!!
