We would like to welcome you to the newest and best swimming school in the local area. Situated at Ogden Hall, the pool is designed for teaching beginners. With much warmer pool water, Ogden Otters is more than suitable for babies, juniors, seniors and those with mobility problems. Due to being a small pool we are able to provide a quiet swimming space for those with additional needs and have an inclusive policy. We believe that swimming should be safe and fun! Small groups/class sizes make it less intimidating for those children who are new to swimming right through to adults who have tried elsewhere and not succeeded. Come and learn to swim with us! Parking available. OFFICIAL OGDEN OTTERS PAGE

That smile says it all 😍

At Ogden Otters, we believe learning to swim should be just as much about having fun as it is about developing new skills!

We want every child to look forward to their lessons, enjoy their time in the water and leave the pool with a big smile on their face! πŸ’™

Because when children are happy, relaxed and having fun, they’re building confidence and learning along the way!

Happy swimmers, happy memories and lots of smiles!

πŸ’¦πŸ¦¦ BEHIND THE SPLASH: Why does pool temperature matter for babies? 🌑️

Did you know that babies need warmer swimming pools than adults?

Little bodies lose heat much faster, which is why the temperature of the water plays such an important role in keeping our youngest swimmers comfortable and happy!

STA guidance recommends a minimum of 30Β°C for baby swimming, increasing to 32Β°C for babies under three months or weighing less than 5.5kg.

At Ogden Otters, our pool is kept at a lovely 33Β°C!

Because when little ones are warm and comfortable, they can focus on what really matters - exploring, building confidence and enjoying every splash!

πŸ‘‰ Swipe through to discover why those few extra degrees make such a difference!

😑 CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THIS WOMAN IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS?!

Her name is Sam Wright, and she’s running Ogden Otters Swim School.

She’s convinced hundreds of parents to bring their children to a nice warm pool, get them into swimming costumes and watch them splash about.

And they keep coming back every week?! 🀯

Children are being encouraged to jump in, blow bubbles, and put their faces underwater - while their parents cheer them on!

Teachers are singing songs, playing games and making children laugh.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE LEARNING, NOT FUN! πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

She’s even got adults voluntarily wearing swimming costumes, exercising in water and calling it Aquasize - and the ladies even have the audacity to smile whilst taking part πŸ˜‚

Meanwhile, parents arrive carrying towels, snacks, bags and children who have suddenly decided they hate their goggles. Thirty minutes later, they’re beaming with pride because their little one has floated independently for the first time πŸ₯Ή

SHE’S EVEN GOT CHILDREN COLLECTING BADGES LIKE OLYMPIC MEDALS! πŸ…

And the worst part?

She’s creating confident, happy little swimmers who are learning skills that could one day save their lives. πŸ’™

Children are overcoming fears, parents are making memories, friendships are forming and families are coming back year after year.

All because one woman decided to build something special.

Honestly, the audacity πŸ™„πŸ˜‚

So if you see Samantha Wright at Ogden Otters, be warned: she might convince you that swimming lessons are the best thing you’ve ever signed your child up for.

AND THE REALLY ANNOYING THING?

She might just be right. πŸ¦¦πŸ’™

Floating is more than just a swimming skill… it’s a lifesaving skill! 🦦

Learning to float is one of the most important things a child can learn in the water. πŸ’™

Floating helps children to:
⭐ Stay calm if they unexpectedly find themselves in deep water.
⭐ Conserve energy while waiting for help.
⭐ Build confidence and feel more comfortable in the water.
⭐ Develop essential skills that support their swimming journey.

At Ogden Otters, we believe swimming lessons are about so much more than learning to swim from one end of the pool to the other. They’re about giving children the confidence, knowledge and skills to stay safer in and around water.

πŸ’™ Give your child skills that could one day save their life.
