A swim school for little ones that meet in central Macclesfield are after more helping hands.

Puddle Ducks Mid Cheshire, a local baby and child swim school, is seeking new pools and swim teachers, in order to meet growing demand, especially now, as it's the time of year when families look to go on holiday and children want to enjoy the water throughout the hot summer months. 

They hold sessions at Everlast Macclesfield, and across the country.

The call comes as the swim school has been touring local primary schools, delivering water safety talks, as in the UK, the latest statistics from the Water Incident Database (WAID) show there were 226 accidental fatalities in 2022: 105 of them during June, July and August.

The successful swim school already provides swimming lessons across the local area, and in order to get more children skilled in swimming, to be confident in their abilities and most importantly stay safe they are asking owners of pools to come forward.

Rachel Bateson, of Puddle Ducks Mid Cheshire commented: "We currently provide a number of classes in different locations across the area, but as demand grows, we need more pools and more swimming teachers to get children in the water and off the waiting lists. It's a life-saving skill that is so important particularly throughout the summer months, so for anyone with a pool across Mid Cheshire, who could accommodate our classes, we'd love to hear from you.

Rachel continued: "We can help fill your pools with lots of happy children learning a valuable life-skill whilst enjoying themselves. Our lessons will also help with the viability of running the pools, providing you with an extra income stream to support with the energy and running costs".

Head swim teacher at Puddle Ducks Mid Cheshire, Nici Wragge, added: "I love my role here at Puddle Ducks as it is so rewarding to see children develop not only their skills but also a love for the water. As we seek to expand, we need more swim teachers to come onboard and deliver our exceptional lessons to children in the local area. Puddle Ducks offer full and ongoing training, and it could be a perfect opportunity for those who want a change in career."
