    • We love Turtle tots. We’ve put both our kids through the turtle tots swimming programme and it’s incredible the confidence they each show now. My youngest who is 21 months is so confident in the water thanks to turtle tots. The small classes mean you get almost a one to one basis at times and they adapt to your child’s abilities. I’ve found it’s also helped my confidence and understanding of how to teach my kids to swim. Would highly recommend.

    • I would highly recommend turtle tots, the staff are amazing and so knowledgeable. My little one absolutely loves going and we’ve met loads of friends

    • Both of our kids have attended turtletots over the years and we highly recommend them. The teachers are all excellent

    • I’ve used Alison with all 3 of my children. I would not go anywhere else. She’s a brilliant swimming teacher and all of my children have enjoyed the lessons with her.

    • We have been going to swimming lessons with Alison at Turtle Tots since my little boy was around 12 weeks old (now 19 months). He loves it so much. His confidence has grown massively (as has mine) and we both look forward to every session. If you’re considering it, do it ! And do it with turtle tots. Amazing facility, teaching and encouragement. LOVE

    • My little boy loves his swimming every week and so do I. I look forward to a Friday to go again. Our instructor is great with them and explaining to us what to do as well.

    • Turtle tots is a wonderful class to join with your baby. Both of my daughters attended classes from around 3months, the classes were one of my favourite bits about mat leave! We all really enjoyed the classes and the teachers were fantastic at making both parent and baby feel relaxed and confident in the water.

    • All 3 of my children have swam at turtle tots and feel they have gained so much confidence in the water due to this. I have loved that often when learning a new technique we are explained as to why we are learning this which makes it even more rewarding to learn.

    • Been attending classes for over a year now and can’t recommend Turtle Tots enough. 100% my 18 month olds favourite class

    • My son has been attending Turtle tots for nearly 3 years now. The staff are all very friendly and extremely happy when dealing with the children. Because of this atmosphere my son loves water and is swimming on his own. If you want your child to learn to swim in a welcoming environment these are the classes for you.

    • Sienna has gained so much confidence in the water with Jacki!

    • The teachers are lovely and both my kids love going to lessons.
