Our Learn-to-Swim Programmes

We run two core learn-to-swim programmes, designed by industry-leading experts. The aim is to give your child confidence in the water, teach them the right technique and empower them to fulfil their potential. We do all this whilst creating positive associations with water and making sure they have lots of fun.

  • Baby & Pre-school (for babies and children aged 0-4 years)
  • Swim Academy (for children aged 4-10 years)

1 to 1 lessons are available in some of our franchises for children from birth to 10 years.

You can read more about our amazing lessons using the links below and if you need any more information or help choosing the right programme/level for you and your child, your local Puddle Ducks team are ready and willing to answer all your questions.

Puddle Ducks Swim School also runs an Aquanatal programme; a wonderful blend of relaxation and gentle exercise for pregnant and post-partum women. These are available at selected franchises only. Please use our Find A Class feature to see if we have classes running near you.

Why Swimming Puddle Ducks

Baby & Pre-school Swimming Lessons - age 0-4 years

Our Baby & Pre-school programme teaches children to be happy and safe in the water. The bonding experience with our very little ones is second to none and the confidence they gain, with many of our swimmers achieving 10m before they start school, gives them skills for life.

In Swim Academy, we create positive associations with swimming.

Our teachers are the difference. Qualified to the highest standards but also trained in child development and how to create the perfect learning environment for your child. They are trusted, respected and loved by our swimmers.

1 to 1 Lessons

Many of our franchises offer 1 to 1 lessons for children from birth up to 10 years old. As availability can vary by location, please visit your local franchise page for the most up-to-date information.

  • Babies and toddlers from birth to two years - a parent or carer must be in the water with the child and our teacher
  • Children from 2-4 years - teachers need to hold an additional teaching qualification to teach pre-schoolers without a parent or carer in the water but this will vary by franchise so please speak to your local team
  • Children 4 years and over are able to be in the water without their parent or carer in our 1 to 1 lessons
