News, events and schools' information for families across Bath and West Wiltshire

Local Swim school Puddle Ducks is hosting an open day, offering the chance to participate in a free 30 minute ‘taster’ lesson for primary school children, between the age of four to ten years old.

The open day will be held on Saturday 7 October from 9am at its new pool in Evercreech, Shepton Mallet, which launched on 1 September, offering lakeside classes from baby and pre-school through to Swim Academy.

The swim school is seeking to welcome families from across the community to come along, dive into a trial session and experience a Puddle Ducks swimming lesson first hand. There will be experienced teachers Diana and Sarah on hand throughout the morning to answer questions and all abilities are welcome.

Owner of Puddle Ducks Bristol and Bath, Sarah Austin, commented, “Our latest pool in Shepton Mallet is a fantastic purpose built, family-friendly pool heated to 32°C, so provides the perfect setting for our open day and an introduction to swimming with Puddle Ducks.

“The pool also provides stress free changing facilities which is always appreciated by our families and is conveniently located just off the A371 just south of Shepton Mallet”.

Sarah continued, “We hope that the open day will offer an insight into how beneficial swimming is. Children adore being in the water, but we teach them to do it safely and with lots of fun, their parents love it too.”
