Puddle Ducks Pyjama Week

Puddle Ducks Charity Pyjama Week, 6th - 12th October 2025

 

 

One of the highlights of our swimming programme, Pyjama Week is more than just fun – it’s an essential part of water safety education.

During these special lessons, children (and their grown ups if in the pool) come to class in their pyjamas and experience what it feels like to swim in clothes. This helps them understand how different the water feels in real-life situations, while still enjoying the songs, games and activities they love.

It’s a brilliant way to give children practical skills and confidence in the water, while also reassuring parents that their little ones know what to do if they ever find themselves in the water unexpectedly.

Our swimmers (and teachers!) always look forward to Pyjama Week - it’s a memorable milestone and a valuable part of your child’s swimming journey.

For our Pyjama Week in October, we also like to raise money for causes close to our heart. This year, we’ll be supporting Martin House to help fund their brand-new hydrotherapy pool! Read more about the hydrotherapy pool project here Hydrotherapy Pool Appeal - Martin House
