Award-winning swim school franchise launches in Edinburgh

Award-winning swim school franchise Puddle Ducks is making a splash, with the launch of its lessons in Edinburgh. 

Launching at Nuffield Health New Mart Road and Nuffield Health Edinburgh Fountain Park, children from the local community will now be able access Puddle Ducks’ unique child-led programme on Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays and Sundays. 

The launch comes as franchise owner of Puddle Ducks Edinburgh Ellie Cawdell, saw an opportunity to expand her existing business into Scotland by purchasing the Edinburgh territory. 

Ellie, who also runs successful Puddle Ducks franchises in York and Cambridge commented: “Edinburgh is such a beautiful, family friendly city, I wanted to be able to offer the Puddle Ducks programme to families across this amazing location. 

Ellie added: “Our swimming lessons are well loved in York and Cambridge, and I wanted to bring this to Edinburgh. I’m excited to welcome lots of local families through our doors”.

With plans to expand into more pools in the area, Ellie is hoping her business will become part of the local community and has hired two swim teachers from the area. Libby and Isla, both from Edinburgh will be leading the classes and are excited to see the children develop and thrive in the water. 

Libby commented: “Being from the local area myself, it’s really exciting to see such a recognised, well established and much-loved brand arriving in our community. I’m delighted to join the team at the Edinburgh franchise and provide the life-saving skill of swimming to local children; it’s such an honour!”. 

Puddle Ducks Edinburgh is looking for more pools across the area to run classes, as well as having upcoming opportunities for more teachers and assistants to join their growing team.

Founded in 2002, Puddle Ducks is a multi-award-winning baby and child swimming school franchise; the only 100% child-led swim school in the UK, offering classes from bump through to 10 years of age and all teachers are STA qualified.
