  Monday & Saturday

  Hello I'm Melissa, I started swimming at Puddle Ducks when my little one was 4 months old. I joined a Monday night Floaties class at High Tunstall and fell in love with the class straight away. Swimming with Alex was always something I wanted to do. As he got older and started a Splashers class, the end of my maternity leave was looming over me, I knew going back to my old job wasn’t the most ideal situation for me. Then I saw an advert on the Tees Valley Puddle Ducks page for an admin role and knew I had to apply. I was very fortunate that Alison saw potential in me and after some persuading I eventually accepted a teaching role. 

  I started teaching Swim Academy in the Autumn of 2016 and went straight off to train for Baby and Pre School at the beginning of 2017. I have never looked back and have loved every second of teaching. I also still swim with Alex but he’s now a Little Dipper and it’s our favourite hobby. 

  I teach Swim Academy at Jury's Inn on a Monday and Swim Academy & Baby and Pre School on a Saturday. 

   

  Hello, I'm Olivia, I joined the Puddle Ducks team in July 2019 when I started my training to become a Swim Academy teacher. I've started to teach classes at the beginning of September. I love working with children and working with Puddle Ducks is a fantastic opportunity; I'm looking forward to seeing all the children progress in their classes. 

  I teach Swim Academy Classes with Melissa on a Monday at Jury's Inn and poolside and teach Swim Academy on a Saturday.

  Wednesday

  Hi, I’m Jessica and I am a mum to a girl she’s 7 and a boy aged 3, and I am getting married in July 2020.
  
  My Puddle Ducks journey to becoming a swimming teacher started in June 2019 when a current employee told me a job had came up at her work. I went along to a meeting to learn more about the role, and it was the perfect job for me; to teach children how to swim and build relationships with them and the parents!
  
  My hobbies are doing pageants, where I will raise money for local charities to help people from babies to adults, and spending time with my family making memories!

  I teach the Baby and Pre School classes on a Wednesday. 

   

  Hi, I'm Jemma, I'm new to the Puddle Ducks team after deciding I wanted to change my job. I used to work as a hairdresser and a beautician, so I love meeting new people.

  I have 3 little girls ages 8, 2 and 8 months old. My favourite animal is a shark and I love the colour red and in the new year I’m going to be training as a Baby and Pre School teacher.

  I am the poolside here on a Wednesday.

  Hi I’m Tia, I have been a Puddle Ducks teacher since September 2017 after I seen the job advertised on Facebook. I have 2 boys aged 3 and 6 and I moved to the North East from Jersey when my youngest was born.

  I absolutely love my job and love seeing all the children progress.

  My favourite animal is an elephant and my favourite colour is pink
