Loved by swimmers & their grown-ups
Hear from the families who trust Duck 'N' Dive to nurture water confidence and lifelong smiles.
"Daisy's swimming has come on leaps and bounds since she's been with Duck N Dive. Emma and the team are so good at what they do. They are able to help each individual child in a way that suits them, whilst making sure they're all challenged, engaged and having loads of fun!"
"Our daughter Sienna started with Emma back in 2016 at the age of three with Telford and Wrekin swimming. Since then Sienna followed Emma to Duck N Dive where she has thrived off the amazing teaching." Since joining Duck N Dive she has been awarded many badges and milestones, and her confidence keeps growing thanks to the fantastic coaching. Duck N Dive gives children the confidence, ambition, and enjoyment to push themselves toward amazing achievements."
"Reuben has been swimming with Duck N Dive around seven years, the last few being taught by the incredible Emma and her fabulous team! In this time he has gone from someone who lacked confidence after a traumatic holiday experience to someone who can swim every stroke, even moving into the senior group and swimming 2000 metres in 40 minutes! Emma is kind, caring, funny, and passionate about what she and her team do, and they bring out the best in the children they teach. We'd heartedly recommend Duck N Dive to everyone who wants their children to learn to swim."
"We've only been a part of Duck N Dive for a few weeks but can already see the difference and the confidence in both my girls. Having sat pool side while they settled in, it was great to see how Lucy and Beth teach, and I really like the level of support and safety they always provide the kids with, whilst pushing them out their comfort zone to get better and more confident in the water"
"Absolutely brilliant! My daughter had no confidence in the water before doing a crash course with Duck N Dive. By her third lesson, she was swimming on her back unaided. She can't wait to start weekly lessons. Can't recommend enough!"
"Our 18-month-old daughter has lessons with Rebecca. She was petrified on day one but Rebecca has been amazing at improving her confidence in the water. Now we struggle to get her out! Would 100% recommend Duck N Dive."
"We had our first swimming lesson for our little boy today and we all loved it. Lovely friendly staff who made us feel super comfortable. Would recommend Duck N Dive 100%."
"Excellent tuition. We've tried other classes and none were as good as Duck N Dive. The crash courses are brilliant and my daughter is now in a small group lesson. She has come on leaps and bounds with Duck N Dive."
"All three of my children have been taught to swim by Duck N Dive. Two have completed their journeys and are confident, technically capable swimmers thanks to the tuition and guidance they've received. My youngest is still learning but could not be in better hands. Emma, Mia, Sally, and the rest of the team were so patient, recognising she just needed time and support to beat her demons. They care deeply about every student, keep parents informed, and always have a smile. I can't sing their praises highly enough."
