Turtle Tots Cardiff
My name is Colum, Irish born and Owner of Turtle Tots Cardiff.
With qualifications from 3 different swimming governing bodies (STA, ASA and Swim Ireland) I bring you Baby and Toddler classes of the highest quality.
At Turtle Tots Cardiff, I’m passionate about promoting water safety and learn to swim skills through our child-led, unique, fun and Multi Award Winning Baby and Toddler classes. Our classes have at least 1 adult in the pool per child, so you learn together, making for memorable family adventures.
I’m a customer service focused company, and actively try to make sure I treat you as an individual, not another number as well as responding to your query in a fast manner. We try to ensure everyone is comfortable and having fun, nothing is forced in our lessons.
To book a class just scroll down, click on the pink bar, choose your preferred venue, double check the Class Level with the Age Guide, along with the Day/Time & click “Register Now”. Once booked you’ll automatically receive a confirmation email (be sure to check your spam).
Scroll down to our ‘About Turtle Tots Cardiff’ section for more info. If you have any questions, drop us an enquiry.
Don’t forget to ‘like’ us on Facebook and ‘follow’ us on Instagram to keep up to date with all our latest news and photos.
We offer 5 Baby Levels for ages 3 – 24 months & 8 Toddler Levels for up to 5.5 years. You don’t need to begin at the start, based on their age we can slot them in a higher level class if need be & quickly catch you up. So unsure which class to book? Well we try to keep the ages in our classes the same so take a look at the age guides & choose a class where your child falls in the age guide. Or want them to start in an “easier” class, then just select a class with a lower age guide.
Our classes in Cardiff are priced £12- 15 (depending on venue) and our terms are typically 8-10 weeks long.
I’m different from the other swim schools in Cardiff in many ways including teaching method, customer service and quality in our lessons. Having qualifications from 3 swim governing bodies, including a Diploma in Baby Swimming I’m the highest qualified swimming teacher in Cardiff.
Additionally I donate a percentage my profits to a local charity, the Intensive Care NeoNatal Unit in the UHW. Former patients are also entitled to a discount for their first term.
Most swim schools in Cardiff restrict the number of people in the pool, but I say why should mummy/daddy have all the fun? We’re the only Baby swimming school in Cardiff who allow both parents in the water*. So nobody misses out!

Becky
Teacher
Before Turtle Tots Becky worked as a primary school teacher for a number of years then went on to working as a class teacher in a special school. Once her little girl came along, she decided that she wanted a career change. "I took Millie to Turtle Tots classes from 11 weeks old and fell in love with the ethos of the lessons. Watching her grow in confidence and having so much fun in the water cemented the idea and I jumped at the opportunity to become a Turtle Tots teacher"
Jasmin
Teacher
Before starting with Turtle Tots Jasmin spent a number of years as a lifeguard. She previously worked at the International Pool & Cardiff Aqua Park. Wanting to get involved in the swimming lessons she's watched, she applied with us & absolutely fell in love with our lessons, ethos & style.
