Local Lady Celebrates A Decade Of Teaching Little Swimmers!

 
Puddle Ducks, a local swim school which provides specialist swimming lessons for children from birth up to the age of 10, alongside Aqua Natal classes for mums-to-be, are excited to be celebrating ten years of teaching children to swim!

Since owner Jo Gribben launched her first class over a decade ago, Puddle Ducks has grown to a team of 34 members of staff, who, between them have taught 1000’s of children to swim in Lancashire over the past decade.

Jo, who has lived in Chorley for over 20 years, launched her swim school back in 2010. After taking both her children to baby swimming lessons, she fell in love with it and knew she wanted to switch from her busy, corporate career to teaching swimming and spending more time with her children. Jo has never looked back and loves every minute of being a Puddle Ducks owner!

She is a massive success story, having recently taken over another Puddle Ducks swim school office in the south, and teaching over 900 babies to swim a week!

Jo commented:
“It has been an amazing journey, and I’m so happy to have been doing what I love for ten years! It’s so lovely to see the progress of children who arrived with us as a bump in Aqua Natal classes, to baby swimming then all the way to swim academy.

“I would like to personally thank each and every one of our customers throughout the years for choosing and trusting Puddle Ducks to help with their children’s swimming journey, and their ongoing loyalty even throughout the pandemic and the uncertainty of the year.

“Everything we do is for our customers and we are proud to have been part of so many lives here across Lancashire. I would also like to say a huge thank you to my incredible team- Here’s to the next 10 years!”

Puddle Ducks provides innovative swimming classes for baby and pre-school classes, as well as Swim Academy from 0 to 10 years. Fully qualified teachers focus on creating a nurturing environment, which supports independent swimming for children of all abilities.
