Mondays with my toddler are my new favourite day of the week when we get to have some one-on-one time together, and his Puddle Ducks swimming lessons have become such a lovely part of that.

I love watching his confidence in the water grow each week, while knowing he's learning such an important life skill at the same time. Then it's usually followed by a slow afternoon and making the most of our day together.

Not a Puddle Ducks swimmer yet? - we'd love to welcome you!

It’s our Water Safety Pyjama Week with our charity partner Children’s Hospital Pyjamas 💦

Puddle Ducks Water Safety Pyjama Week teaches invaluable personal survival skills as well as being lots of fun!  
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.

💦 It's charity pyjama week! 💦

Pyjama Week teaches our swimmers invaluable personal survival skills and raises money for charity; all while having lots of fun!

There are two ways to support the charity but the best way is to buy a pair of pyjamas to donate to their annual appeal (they can only accept brand new pyjamas).

Just bring them to your lesson and give them to your teacher or poolside assistant.

Or you can donate to our Just Giving Page https://www.justgiving.com/page/puddle-ducks-edinburgh-pjweek-oct26 The money raised will go directly to Children's Hospital Pyjamas.

What a fantastic achievement! Best friends from Puddle Ducks to National Championships!   Lottie and her best friend Amber, daughter of Puddle Ducks franchisee Jay Nash (Puddle Ducks Chester, Wirral & North Wales), first splashed into the pool together at Puddle Ducks Holywell Leisure Centre. Fast forward 10 years, after completing the Puddle Ducks programme through to our Elite Swim Academy, these two best friends, now 12 years old, are making waves at the National Swimming Championships competing together for Holywell Swimming Club.  Lottie is excelling in breaststroke while Amber is soaring through the water as an avid butterfly swimmer. From those early Puddle Ducks lessons to competing on the national stage, their journey is a wonderful reminder of how swimming can create friendships and inspire young swimmers to achieve incredible things. Good luck girls, everyone here at Puddle Ducks is cheering you on!

Your child’s swimming journey can start at any time but what ‘learn-to-swim’ environment do you want for them?

Swim Academy, brought to you by the child swimming experts at Puddle Ducks, has a supported learning approach that works. We start with our teachers in the water with your child and we keep our ratios small. Why? With a maximum teacher to child ratio of 1:4 we have developed beginner levels that means your child will never wear a fixed buoyancy aid. Our expert teachers can support swimmers on an individual level, to discover their body’s natural buoyancy in the water, a crucial skill were they to ever fall into water.
Our swimmers are involved in their own learning; we teach them cause and effect; we ask them questions and make sure they understand why they are performing certain activities and what it will lead to – the child is empowered to achieve their goals because they know why they are doing it. We build them up as individuals as well as swimmers; every element of our programme advances their confidence and their skills. Swim Academy, brought to you by the experts at Puddle Ducks. Let’s Do This.
