# Puddle Ducks Lancashire
Puddle Ducks Lancashire is a specialist baby and child swimming school operating across Lancashire and Greater Manchester, with their Leigh location based at Everlast Fitness. They deliver progressive swimming lessons for infants from birth through to ten-year-olds across multiple hand-picked pools in the region, including venues in Bolton, Bury, Preston, Wigan, Chorley and Rochdale.
The business operates three distinct programmes tailored to developmental stages. Their Baby & Pre-school offering (birth to 4 years) emphasises water confidence and bonding through child-led, progressive teaching. Classes incorporate music, rhyme and movement based on child development research, with a maximum of ten children per session. Notably, they claim to be the only national baby swim school that is 100% child-led, with many of their pupils swimming over 10 metres before starting school.
For primary-school aged children (4-10 years), their Swim Academy programme focuses on developing efficient swimming technique, water safety and lifesaving skills through small class sizes that balance individual nurture with independence.
What distinguishes Puddle Ducks is their philosophy of small, intimate class environments—warm pools, expert instruction and a commitment to tailoring activities to individual child abilities. Their extensive child development research underpins their methodology, and their track record demonstrates tangible results in early swimming competency. The business is owner-led by Jo Gribben and maintains strong community engagement through social media presence.
