A baby and child swim school is expanding its services in time for the summer season.

Puddle Ducks Oxfordshire, which has been operating since 2011, now teaches at 13 different pools across Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, and Gloucestershire, reaching more than 1,000 children.

It will now be offering additional sessions at three new venues, to cater for the growing demand for classes.

Owner Beccy Stenson said: "We are now able to offer classes at The Wiltshire in Royal Wootton Bassett, Coldstone House in Ascott-under-Wychwood and from April 19, also at the Oxford Thames Hotel in Oxford."

Ms Stenson added: "We are delighted to announce the expansion of our services that will allow us to meet growing demand.

"As we head towards summer when children are increasingly around water, it's great to be able to get more children from across our local area into the pool, learning this essential life skill.

"We can't wait to meet lots of new families and teach even more of our local children how to swim."

The latest statistics from the Water Incident Database show there were 226 accidental fatalities in 2022, of which 105 occurred during June, July and August.
