Our November Pyjama Week is almost upon us and we are excited about how much money will be raised for the fantastic charities. Last year we managed to raise a magnificent £55,000, and we aim to beat that this year.
Wearing pyjamas during swimming lessons is about more than just having fun. Most accidents will happen while your child is fully clothed, so Pyjama Week will give a great indication of what this will feel like. It will help them realise that they will feel heavier but they will still be able to do the important life-saving manoeuvres like kicking to the surface and reaching for the side.
Charity Pyjama Week this year is from 7th – 13th November. Each Puddle Ducks team has chosen a charity close to their hearts, mainly voted for by our lovely customers. These are the great charities that we will be raising money for:
