Our Story at Ogden Otters
Since opening our doors in 2014, Ogden Otters has been all about helping people feel confident, safe and happy in the water
We’ve proudly taught over 1500 children and adult non-swimmers, as well as running our much-loved parent & baby classes in our warm 32°C pool – perfect for even the tiniest swimmers to enjoy special bonding time with parents or caregivers.
Our Swimming Programme
In 2016, we launched our structured 8-level swimming programme, designed to take swimmers from complete beginner all the way to confidently mastering all four strokes.
Each level builds:
- ✅ Stroke technique
- ✅ Water safety
- ✅ Water rescue skills
…and every swimmer receives a certificate to celebrate their progress along the way
Keep an eye out for our new certificates and badges which are launching April 2026!
Growing with Our Community
Since 2017, under new management, we’ve continued to grow and expand what we offer:
- Aquacise classes (now running multiple times a week for ages 14+ & all abilities)
- Pool parties
- School swimming programmes, now supporting 8 local schools
Our school swimming has small group sizes and teachers in the water for extra support
Family Fun & Special Events
In 2020, we introduced our popular Family Fun Swims – a chance for families to enjoy the pool together and celebrate their children’s progress (those proud moments are the best )
In 2023, we added a little extra magic ✨ with our Santa’s Workshop, which was a huge hit with families – and we can’t wait to bring it back again!
We also introduced a holiday club in the summer of 2025 which was a roaring success. We created enriching learning experiences which included nature play and team building, crafting, baking and spent a part f every single day developing and honing their swimming skills and safety awareness.
More Than Just Swimming
At Ogden Otters, we’re more than a swim school – we’re a community.
Whether it’s your child’s first splash, building confidence, or achieving their next level, we’re here every step of the way.
