  Emma started her Teacher training for Puddle Ducks in Hampshire but then when she decided to move to Tunbridge Wells her future with our team was settled.

  Emma started her life with us Poolside Assisting at Fosse Bank School while she completed her Teacher Training and waited for a teaching opening to arise.

  Now teaching several sessions across the Region, Emma has established herself as a key Teacher in our team.

  I have always loved being in and around water, as a young child I loved collecting pennies from the bottom of the pool that my Dad used to throw in.

  After being spotted aged 8 by a diving coach throwing myself into the pool in a somersault at the local leisure centre I was asked to join the local diving team. This soon led to County and National teams where I won National medals and a couple of National titles.

  At the age of 16 it was time to choose between my two loves - diving and musical theatre, I chose the latter and went on to train at London Studio Centre and perform in many shows.

  After my daughter was born I knew I wanted her to have the same confidence, respect and love of the water that I have. A friend of mine recommended Puddle Ducks and I have not looked back!

  I instantly fell in love with the whole concept and I knew I had to be a part of it. I count myself so lucky to be able to do a job that I love, find so rewarding and teaches an invaluable life skill.

  I'll look forward to seeing you soon x

  I have 2 children, a 4 and a 2 year old, and I know how important it is that they enjoy being in the water, having fun and learning a life skill also.

  My previous occupation was Cabin Crew for 15 years at Monarch Airlines.  When I left two years ago I made the choice to be a stay at home mum.  I missed being around people and always felt I wanted to teach younger children, so when this job came up I thought it was a great opportunity.

  I enjoy being in water and I love that I can teach a really important life skill in such a fun way, using ryhmes and songs.  It is energetic which the kids love too.  I also like the Puddle Ducks child led approach, supporting each child individually.

  I can't wait to teach your little ones in one of my classes very soon and have lots of fun with you!
