We regularly attend puddle ducks classes and my daughter loves them! They are baby led and the teaching is excellent. Highly recommend!

I have been taking my son swimming since he was 3 months old (he is now 15 months) and the programme and teachers at puddle ducks are simply the best. It is child led and nothing is forced. The teachers are welcoming, friendly, kind and share their knowledge behind why we do certain activities. My son loves his lessons and has grown in confidence when in the water. Highly recommend swimming lessons with Puddleducks. We swim in Oxfordshire and from other reviews others may have had issues but we have never had any issues with customer service, lessons or courtesy classes with the Oxfordshire team. They have been incredibly accommodating especially when we needed to change our days due to returning to work.

Fantastic guided swimming lessons. I've had both my kids utilise these lessons at their Hailsham branch. Robyn is great with the kids and managing the class as a whole.

I have 2 children gladly swimming with Puddle Ducks. My eldest’s first lesson was back in 2018 and apart from a break over the pandemic and then huge waiting lists (says it all!) we’ve been with them ever since. They both love Clare & Becky. Thank you Puddle Ducks!

Been swimming with Puddle Ducks since my son was 8 weeks old. He’s now 15 months and it’s our favourite part of our week. All the teachers we’ve had are so kind and knowledgeable- safety and comfort of the children is always priority. I’ve recommended them to everyone I know!

We really like the lessons themselves. Jam packed, lots of different activities and change regularly. However, class sizes are big and there is not enough changing facilities for the number of people in the class.
My little one loves swimming and has grown in confidence in the water this past year. We are now in Kickers and learning more each week. Robyn is fantastic with my little one and he loves seeing her every week.
I previously had a bad experience with a different local provider who made me loose confidence in swimming but also being a first time mum. This put me completely off swimming. Puddle ducks has completely turned that around when I decided to do a trial session and give it a go. My little one loved it and was so relaxed and the instructor was so kind and boosted my confidence that the previous school ruined. Would 100% recommend! We have now signed on to swim weekly with puddle ducks Cambridge
I’ve put my baby in paddle ducks for 5 months and it was wonderful the staff are lovely and it’s really made him more confident I initially wanted to start him so he got used to water for when we went away and we went away in January he loved the pool, he’s now 10 months he is having a break and then I can’t wait to continue the journey with paddle ducks again for the summer 😊
I can’t recommend Puddle Ducks enough!
My little girls confidence in the water has come on huge amounts since she first started. She absolutely loves the songs and activities and the teachers and staff are absolutely fabulous!! We look forward to our class every week and I am really looking forward to watching my little girl progress further.
Thank you so much Puddle Ducks Oxfordshire!!
We love Puddle Ducks, my 4.5 year old only started swimming just under a year ago and now he has been recommended to start Swim Academy. (Which means I do not have to enter the water with him) His confidence has grown, he’s much more independent in the water and he’s doing things he would never have done before taking lessons. Our teacher is great, she’s very observant and pushes him to be better all whilst making it fun. We are looking forward to see what else he can do as an independent swimmer.
I’ve been bringing my 14 month old daughter to lessons with puddle ducks since she was 4 months old and we both thoroughly enjoy our weekly lesson.
It is the perfect bonding activity and her confidence in the water has grown so much. The teachers have all been absolutely fantastic and no two lessons are the same. Thanks Puddle Ducks!
Both my children have attended Puddle ducks (daughter 8, son 3) since babies and absolutely love it.
Son is currently at the Warley Rd academy class on a Saturday morning and loves it.

I’ve been taking my son to puddleducks since he was 12 weeks old (he’s now 13 months) and it’s been brilliant. Theresa has been so accommodating, supportive and mindful no matter what mood he’s in or what stage he’s at and the classes are lovely and relatively small sized so not at all overwhelming. Couldn’t recommend it more to any new parents!!

Sam teaches my son at the Keelmans Way Hebburn. She is a fantastic teacher, she's patient and my son has come so far and loves to attend his lessons.
He loves his swimming lessons with Sam.

Puddle ducks are absolutely amazing!! I couldn't recommend them enough.
My son was previously in local leisure centre lessons for a year before I moved to Puddle ducks and in that year I seen no progress whatsoever.
Within 4 lessons with puddle ducks I could see huge progress and my son now loves his swimming lessons.
The teachers are amazing, special shout out to Carly, Ella and Rachel. Carly is absolutely wonderful, she knows exactly how to work with each individual child and I can't thank her enough for how far she's brought my son on in the last 6 months.
The lessons are quite expensive but its really a case of, you get what you pay for and it's totally worth it.
Thanks Puddleducks!
An amazing team that offers amazing swimming lessons. My son didn't settle immediately. I am grateful to Helen, Rob, and Suzi for their patience and amazing skills, which helped my son settle, and he is doing really well now. We are really grateful to all the teachers in Puddle Ducks. I wish them all the best; you are just amazing!!!
Claire at holiday inn Filton is great. She’s always very encouraging and packs lots into every class. My daughter doesn’t stop smiling

Our little boy has come on leaps and bounds since starting lessons a few months ago. Learning to swim is such an essential life skill - Im so pleased with how well he is learning and that the focus is on learning without armbands or those flotation vests - much safer as they wouldn’t have those if they were to fall in somewhere!
