    • Great classes, we did a 4-week summer course. Each lesson was well structured and just the right length (30 mins) and I enjoyed seeing my niece’s confidence in water grow. Now we just need to encourage her to confine herself to swimming in the pool, not drinking from it!

    • Both my children have learnt to swim with Turtle Tots and we have found the experience excellent. Teachers are patient and lessons are good fun. A lovely way for both parents and children to make friends and build confidence in the water

    • Amazing class my daughter loved it Lou was so good with the kids would 100% recommend

    • Staff are well trained, patient and kind. They quickly know all the children by name and create a fun environment for the children and parents to learn. It’s always a favourite time of the week with our toddler!

    • Lovely team and very high quality lessons. This is our favourite activity each week and we would very much recommend Turtle Tots!

    • There appears to be a great structure to the classes to allow the progression through the stages. Our daughter’s confidence in water has grown so much.
      Thank you to The Turtle Tots Team!

    • We have been attending swimming lessons with Turtle Tots since August and have loved it. My son is 2 years old and has made great progress in the pool as a result of his lessons. Our instructor Julie is kind and supportive. She reassures all of us in the class and gives great advice.

    • Turtletots have been great! Love the lessons, and the communication is exceptional. My son was scared of swimming at the begin , after many terms and lessons he’s come on in leaps and bounds! Would recommend Turtletots to my friends.

    • Turtle tots is the best class I took my baby to – we’ve been going since she was 3months and she’s now turning 2! Lessons have given her so much confidence in the water, and I can see her improving all the time. We love it so much I made turtle tots lesson day my non working day when I went back from maternity leave so we can keep going 🙂

    • Rowan teaching the classes for us is very good with the children, making it a fun and productive class.
