Trudie Norton, senior teacher at Puddle Ducks said: "It’s great to see such a demand for lessons across our local community, particularly as we head into summer. We expanded into a new pool last year, The Hampshire Court Hotel in Basingstoke, which allowed us to provide more lessons to local children, as well as employment opportunities in our community.

"To anyone who is looking for a career change, Puddle Ducks is a great option, as you can make it work around family life as well as feel the rewards from teaching the life-saving skill of swimming to little ones."
