Our classes run across Nottingham: 2 in central Nottingham – 1 in the city centre and 1 at Sherwood, 1 at Trent bridge, 1 in South Notts in Keyworth and also 1 in Leicester.

Baby swimming is one of the most amazing experiences you can share with your baby and it is one of the few things that you can both enjoy together. For the newborn, baby swimming provides huge benefits as it’s the only activity from birth where a baby has complete freedom of movement which they love. . With lots of eye and skin to skin contact, it’s a wonderful way to bond with your baby where you can really focus on each other and enjoy this magical time together. Swimming helps develop their coordination skills and often their sleeping and eating patterns and this is always very welcome in those early days. We also get a lot of dads coming to lessons, it’s for everyone!

We have spent many years carefully developing our progressive lesson plans to develop our swimmers but our expert teachers will individually tailor activities to suit your child’s ability and confidence levels. Our lessons are aimed at babies and children from birth to 10 years as we want every child to love swimming, respect the water and swim beautifully.

At Puddle Ducks, your little one is at the centre of everything we do and the children we teach can often swim over 10m before they start school! We also run classes for older children in our Swim Academy so we’ll be with you through their whole swimming journey.

All of our classes take place in specially selected clean, warm pools and are packed full of fun with lots of songs and activities so your little ones develop in to confident swimmers without even realising they are learning to swim.

Take a look at our website www.puddleducks.com to find your local class.

Baby Sensory is a learning and development programme for babies birth to 13 months.
