Puddle Ducks Doncaster’s Baby & Pre-School programme (0-4) provides a wonderful bonding experience and their progressive lesson plans instil a water confidence and love of swimming in your little one. Their nurturing teachers tailor activities to your child’s abilities and needs and make learning to swim fun! The baby & pre-school programme is offered through five levels:
- Floaties (0-6 months)
- Splashers (6-15 months)
- Kickers (15 to 30 months)
- Little Dippers (30 months- 4 years)
- Dippers (3 & 4 year olds who are ready for the next stage)
For older children, whether they have come from a pre-school class or never been in the water before, Swim Academy (4-10 years) will take your child from ‘getting their faces wet’ to being an independent, confident swimmer.
Puddle Ducks have a huge range of classes available across multiple venues. From 8th September they’ll be adding a new pool at Misterton Primary School to the list (DN10 4EH). Lessons will take place here on Fridays between 10am & 12pm.

At Water Babies you’ll learn how to teach your baby to swim. Water Babies lessons are intimate, with a maximum of ten little ones, their parent/ carer and a teacher in the pool at any one time. They’re 30 minutes long and take place each week, so it’s a wonderful way to bond with your baby away from the craziness of life.
Skills are taught through song, play and repetition, so there’s never a dull moment when you’re in the pool. Water babies teachers will tailor each lesson to your little ones ability.
Lessons currently take place on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at four different venues in Doncaster.
