Do you know someone who has had a baby in the last 6 months? Or someone who is expecting very soon?

Puddle Ducks Doncaster run swimming lessons at several hand-picked pools for babies, pre-schoolers and under 10’s in Doncaster and surrounding areas.

Their floaties programme is suitable for babies aged 0-6 months. If you’re an expectant or new parent, this programme is a bonding experience like no other (babies can join from birth, they do not need to have completed their injections and very young babies enjoy the freedom, massage and gentle exercise that the water offers). It builds trust, shares joy and sets the building blocks of a learning experience. Mum or Dad can take baby along to lessons, which are taught with a maximum of 10 children.

The benefits to both parent and baby of swimming together are immense:

• Plenty of eye contact
• Plenty of skin contact – it’s a wonderful way to bond with your baby
• Helping you and your baby feel relaxed and confident in the water
• Makes swimming a fun and socially stimulating activity (for both you and your baby!)
• Even parents who can’t swim can enjoy relaxing in the water with their baby

Most importantly of all, baby swimming should instil a love of water for the rest of your child’s life.
