    • I have been taking my son Swimming with turtle tots since he could hold his head up. I have been so impressed with the level of support we have both received. The lessons are good quality and fairly priced and there is great understanding and felixability if you are unable to attend a lesson. Allowing you to rebook so you’re little one doesn’t miss out.
      I would highly recommend!

    • My daughter has been going to turtle tots since she was two and now my baby goes. They both love there sessions x my 9 month old absolutely loves swimming and gets excited when she sees the pool. The sessions are so relaxed and go at the child’s pace with no pressure xx so glad I started with turtle tots xx really wish older sessions were on for my daughter who is on her last term xx
