# Puddle Ducks Nottinghamshire and North Leicestershire
Puddle Ducks operates a child-led swimming programme across Nottingham, Mansfield and Leicester, led by owners Becky White and Shaj Ali. The business specialises in progressive swimming education for infants through to primary school children, delivered at carefully selected local pools.
The company serves families with babies, toddlers and pre-school children through their Baby & Pre-school programme, which emphasises water confidence and bonding in warm, intimate settings with no more than ten children per class. For older children aged 4-10, their Swim Academy teaches efficient swimming technique alongside water safety and lifesaving skills in small, nurturing class groups.
What distinguishes Puddle Ducks is their commitment to child-led learning—they are the only national baby swim school operating on this principle. Their approach incorporates research-based rhyme, music and movement activities tailored to individual developmental needs. The programme delivers measurable outcomes; children typically swim over 10 metres before starting school.
Classes are deliberately kept small to provide appropriate support whilst maintaining challenge and engagement. The teaching philosophy balances nurturing individual needs with sufficient class size to allow children appropriate independence. Their reputation is reflected in a 4.9/5.0 rating across 3,715 customer reviews on Trustist.
The business maintains active community presence through Facebook and Instagram channels, making it accessible for local family enquiries.
