Friday
9:00am–12:00pm and 3:30pm–6:30pm
Saturday & Sunday
8:00am–12:00pm
We’ve also introduced a new online booking system to make the process easier for everyone.
Booking is simple:
✔ Parents book a personalised 10-minute session online
Choose a time that suits your family.
✔ We do all the setup
Puddle Pics creates the email and booking link – all you need to do is send it to your families.
✔ No upfront payment
Families only purchase if they love their photos.
✔ Instant photo viewing
Parents view images immediately after their session with no obligation to buy.
Why Our Booking System Works Better
✔ No disruption to swim lessons
Photography takes place in one designated area, with parents bringing their children over at their allocated session time, allowing lessons to continue uninterrupted.
✔ Flexible booking options
Families who swim on different days can still book a dedicated photo session or arrange a make-up session if needed.
✔ Instant photo viewing
There’s no waiting weeks for an online gallery. Families can view their photos immediately after their session and choose only the images they love.
✔ A more relaxed experience
A smoother, more organised and professional process creates a better experience for children, parents and swim school staff alike.
✔ More time with every child
Dedicated one-on-one sessions allow Jo to build trust and confidence, especially with shy children, resulting in more natural smiles and beautiful photographs.
✔ Family photos welcome
Parents and siblings are welcome to join the session, creating special underwater memories the whole family can treasure.
✔ Better results
Less rushing means more fun, stronger connections, more genuine smiles and unforgettable underwater memories.
