Then we see where those skills might take them.

with children is absolutely essential. There will be contact with parents on the poolside before and after lessons and so customer care and

You need a pleasant and outgoing personality as we would expect you to be able to develop a relationship with your customers; to lead them as a group as well as understand and respond to each individual child's needs.

Your verbal skills will ensure your teaching is excellent and your verbal and written skills will ensure you maintain good communication with the wider Puddle Ducks team.
