Puddle Ducks – Finalist for Community Builder of the Year

Leading baby and child swimming franchise Puddle Ducks is a finalist for the Natalia Shvarts Community Builder of the Year Franchise Award. This award honours brilliance across eight different criteria, recognising a winner whose standout strategies and contributions have made a significant impact on the franchise community.  

The Puddle Ducks franchise provides world-class swimming lessons from aqua-natal classes, birth to age 10 and teaches over 25,000 babies, toddlers, pre-school and primary school children to swim every week across the UK.

Jo Stone, CEO and managing director of Puddle Ducks commented:

“We are delighted to be finalist for something which is at the heart of everything we do, being part of our wider communities both locally and within franchising. All our franchise owners in their local areas make a real difference to so many children’s lives, teaching them a life-long skill and love of swimming. This is a strong category, and we are keeping our fingers crossed.”

​Puddle Ducks are looking forward to the awards ceremony to be held on 13th March where all will be revealed and the winners announced.

The Puddle Ducks franchise was founded in 2002 and is multi- award winning for both the swimming they provide and for their franchising model. They have a large and hugely supportive network, a highly successful business model and provide ongoing training & development and marketing campaigns including local PR for their franchisees.
