Welcome to our Hebden Green pool in Winsford!
We teach our Baby & Pre-School swimming classes here in this Winsford based venue.
Puddle Ducks have exclusive use of this beautiful hydrotherapy pool during lesson times that has been refurbished in recent years and offers a wonderful sensory experience. Our expert swimming teachers tailor the lessons to progress every individual at their own pace as we want all of our children to love the water and learn to swim beautifully in a fun, relaxed environment.
You'll find all the information that you need for this venue below. We look forward to seeing you at the pool!
