PUDDLE Ducks, the learn to swim franchise for children, is diving in the deep end in Worcestershire.

Not only has it moved offices into St Mary's Street in central Worcester, but it has also been busy recruiting new members of staff and taken delivery of a new branded car. The company is the largest swim school partner of the Swimming Teachers Association and the Worcestershire franchise started teaching swimming in January 2011. It now has ten pools in the local area, bringing its fun and effective classes to many parents and their little ones.

Kate Attwood, Worcestershire business owner, said: "It’s great to be growing and developing the business, both from a personal and a business perspective. We love supporting parents in Worcestershire as they get their children swimming and taking on new staff is also helping the local economy. The new offices in central Worcester will enable us to expand and develop our team and also allow us to play a greater part in the thriving business community in the city.

"The branded car is the next step to help us grow our brand awareness even further. It looks great and is a reflection of the fun and friendly nature of Puddle Ducks. Our poolside assistants will love driving around in the car and we can also take out and about to all the events we are attending over the summer.”

Puddle Ducks is a national company which was founded in 2001. Quality of teaching has been the business’ number one priority so parents know they are getting the very best for their children. Classes, which take place at ten pools throughout Worcestershire, have no minimum age requirement and take on babies from birth or as soon as parents are ready to go in the water. Puddle Ducks also welcomes older children at its classes, taking on children up to the age of ten, so parents should never think their child is too old to learn to swim.
