Puddle Ducks Bristol & Bath, one of the region’s longest-established baby and pre-school swim schools, has launched its first-ever classes here in Frome.
Running on Saturday afternoons at the gorgeously warm Harry’s Hydro pool on Nunney Road, there are Floaties classes, suitable for babies from birth to six months old, through to Little Dippers, a pre-school class suitable for those aged 30 months upwards.
Classes are led by friendly and experienced instructor Diana, who also teaches locally at Woolley Grange Hotel in Bradford on Avon and Larkrise School in Trowbridge. A helping hand for parents is always available in the form of lovely Sam, the poolside assistant there to make your life easier at the pool.
Families can start classes at any time; if there are spaces, there is no need to wait for the start of a half term. They also enjoy being able to book courtesy (catch up) classes if they need to take a holiday.
Puddle Ducks focuses on a gentle, child-led approach to swimming and gives parents and their little ones the chance to learn vital water safety skills, and develop water confidence together, while having lots of fun in the pool! Progressive lesson plans incorporate rhyme, music and movement based on extensive child development research, recognising that children develop at their very own pace.
The company celebrated its 10th birthday in 2018 and teaches over 1,200 children to swim every week, at 14 pools across Somerset, Wiltshire and Bristol.
