# Puddle Ducks Lancashire
Puddle Ducks Lancashire is a specialist baby and child swimming school operating across the North West, with a base at Millwood Primary School in Radcliffe, Manchester. Led by owner Jo Gribben, the school delivers progressive swimming tuition for infants from birth through to 10-year-old children across multiple venues in Bolton, Bury, Wigan, Preston, Rochdale and surrounding areas.
The business operates two core programmes. Their Baby & Pre-school offering (birth to 4 years) focuses on water confidence and bonding through child-led lessons in warm pools with a maximum of ten children. Classes incorporate music, rhyme and movement based on child development research, with many pupils swimming over 10 metres before starting school. The Swim Academy programme (ages 4-10) develops efficient swimming technique alongside water safety and lifesaving skills in small, nurturing class sizes.
What distinguishes Puddle Ducks Lancashire is their commitment to being 100% child-led—a claim they uniquely hold as the only national baby swim school operating this approach. Rather than following rigid instructor-directed formats, lessons adapt to each child's individual abilities and developmental needs. This philosophy, combined with their selection of hand-picked heated pools and expert teaching staff, has earned them a 4.8/5 customer rating from 76 reviews.
The school serves families seeking quality, developmental swimming education rather than basic lessons, positioning itself as a premium provider in the competitive children's swim instruction market.
