Welcome to Puddle Ducks South Suffolk

Find out about baby swimming, toddler and pre-school swimming in and around Ipswich, Hadleigh, Felixstowe and Woodbridge.

Swimming has always been a big part of my life as a child and now my own children are spending as much time in the water as they can. I have a great belief in the benefits of teaching children to swim. If you can swim, it opens the door to sailing, surfing, jet skiing, the list goes on! Swimming is a life skill that can also save lives. The sooner your little one gains confidence in the water, the easier the journey will be.

You may have never tried swimming with your baby or be a dab hand in the pool; please get in touch, we're sure you'll love our gentle, fun and nurturing classes, all designed to maximise your bonding experience.

With activities perfectly tailored to suit your child's age and confidence, our lessons are full of songs, rhymes, games and activities working towards your little one swimming independently, safely and happily, both above and under the water. That’s the Puddle Ducks’ difference.

Please get in touch if you would like to find out more - we would love to welcome you and your little one to our classes soon.
