Meet the Teachers at Tonbridge School Centre

  Jill

  Teacher (Monday, Wednesday & Thursday)

  Jill's first job after leaving school, was as a lifeguard and sports teacher. After trying other jobs she found that nothing quite satisfied her like being in the pool and teaching environment.

  I joined Puddle Ducks because I not only believe in how important it is to learn to swim, but also to teach life preservation skills from a really young age.

  What I love most about being a Puddle Ducks teacher is that the classes are such fun - whilst still teaching important life skills. I also love being able to progress each child at their own pace.

  Sam

  Teacher (Friday)

  Sam worked as an IT Trainer within the NHS for over 10 years, but more recently made the lifestyle choice to work on the deli counter at Waitrose!

  I have always thought that teaching these skills would be such a rewarding job so when the opportunity to become a Puddle Ducks teacher came up I jumped at the chance!

  I have two children, a full-on mermaid and a mermaid-in-training... She just loves being in the water and I take them both swimming regularly as a fun activity, knowing that being able to swim is a really important life skill.

  I'm looking forward to teaching your little ones these skills and seeing them develop through safe, fun Puddle Ducks activities, making for lots of happy, confident water loving children.

  Emma G

  Teacher (Sunday)

  From high fashion to splashin’ – previously Emma designed garments for Haute Couture but after spending time with her children in the lessons, it was an easy move to become a teacher.

  I love building children's water confidence and helping them to progress their swim skills. It is an important life skill, whilst also developing core strength, improving balance, coordination, building paraspinal muscles and so much more...it is also A LOT of fun!

  These days, you can generally find me running around after two young boys or squeezing in a spot of yoga or gardening if I'm lucky! I also love travelling, climbing mountains and exploring oceans.
