Lesson Pricing

What does the price of a lesson include?

Our Pricing Explained

Lessons are £18 each. This is the price for one lesson with one adult in the pool per baby/child in our preschool classes. For Swim Academy lessons (for ages 4-10 years) the child is in the pool with the teacher(s), parents/carers can spectate at some of our pools.

We are very proud of our lessons and feel they represent good value for money: 

  • Children learn to swim more quickly due to our unique guided learning approach;
  • In our baby and preschool lessons not only do we teach the babies and children vital water safety skills, water confidence and independent swimming, we also educate the parents and give them confidence and the knowledge to take what is learnt in lessons away on holidays and to family swim sessions;
  • Each and every activity teaches a skill- there is no "wasted" time in our lessons;
  • The health and safety of our customers is a priority- you won't find a swim school which takes health and safety responsibilities as serious as Puddle Ducks

It's not just a swimming lesson!

What makes Puddle Ducks lessons the very best out there and worth every penny?

We truly believe our prices represent the high standard of lessons delivered. We are confident that we continue to represent value for money and our success and continued growth speaks for itself.

  • Our lessons are the of highest possible standard with unrivalled teacher training. Training doesn't stop once they are "qualified". Our teachers undergo continuous professional development to make themselves the best and most knowledgeable in the industry.
  • Our Aquatics Team at Head Office are not only experts in swimming but in child development too. This knowledge is imparted to every one of our teachers. When our teachers train, they are taught how to deliver child-focussed lessons with our unique guided-learning approach; they understand how each activity can be adapted to suit the individual needs of each child in the class;
  • Our lessons are not simply "splash and play" sessions. Babies and children learn to swim right from day one with engaging, progressive activities, each with an end goal that individual children will work towards at their own pace;
  • Our lesson plans are not "off the shelf", they are unique to us. We believe our customers deserve the best lessons, so they written and regularly updated by professional technical swimming experts.

That's the Puddle Ducks Difference.

  • Learning to swim is a life skill every parent wants for their child; the swim school you choose and teaching methods they use are important to understand as they vary and can affect your child’s relationship with the water.  

    Why is the Puddle Ducks guided-learning approach the best way for your child to learn to swim? 

    We set the environment for success. 

    From arriving pool side, you are expertly guided through your lesson. Every activity is designed with your child’s stage of development in mind and is taught in such a way that you, the parent/carer are learning how to nurture your child’s water confidence. 

    Guided learning broadly refers to playful educational activities which, although gently steered by an adult, give children the freedom to explore a learning goal in their own way. This approach leads them through positive pathways and builds progression. It helps children develop problem-solving and communication skills as well as promoting creativity and imagination. 

    Our guided learning approach is continually developed by the leading baby & pre-school swimming experts and we are at the forefront of child-led swimming in the UK. 

    What does it look like? 

    It’s about choice. 

    We use signals, positively encouraging them to try an activity and they choose whether they are ready to complete it. Through repetition in a class environment, every child finds the motivation to complete activities that move them forward through their swimming journey. 

    It’s about positive pathways. 

    Our fun learning environment teaches skills that positively enhance yours and your child’s lives; making exercise part of the routine, improving your time together as a family, from bath time to family holidays and learning transferable safety skills that can be used in and out of the pool. 

    Our teaching techniques enable you to guide and support your child. We will help you understand how we structure activities to build up those essential swimming skills. 

    The Puddle Ducks learn-to-swim journey achieves progression in a nurturing way that leads to increased water confidence and ultimately, impressive swimmers at an early age.
