Turtle Tums - Pregnancy Aqua-Natal Classes

Turtle Tums is a six-week aqua-natal course that provides mums-to-be with a great way of exercising within the controlled and supportive environment of water. Each class introduces you to the magical world of swimming with your baby before they are even born! During the classes we will show you techniques to use with your baby once they are born, ensuring you are confident in the water with your baby once they have entered the world! The idea to teach mums-to-be how to swim with their baby before they have even been born came out of years of experience observing new mums in the pool for the first time with their precious newborns! It can be a very daunting experience coming swimming for the first time and one that can be overcome by teaching various techniques to mums during the aqua-natal classes. And once you have completed the Turtle Tums Aqua Natal classes you are ready to join Turtle Tots baby classes!

The Benefits

During the first few years of a young child's life its brain grows faster than in later years, and develops incredibly quickly. Our swimming classes help babies and young children to make new brain connections and strengthen their learning through exercising and stimulation. Click on the menu on the left hand side to find out more about how swimming accelerates and helps your child's development.
