MoorMums says:
Puddle Ducks run fun swimming classes for babies and pre-school children. They also make use of music in their classes which is a great idea for babies. The classes are small and friendly. A great way to meet other mums/carers.
Visit the Puddle Ducks website for more details.
You may want to take your baby to the local pool to check that he/she likes swimming (most do) before paying up front for a term of classes.
Always check that the class is running before setting off. Share your views on the class with other mums in our baby chat section.
