Turtle Tots lessons and classes

We are passionate about teaching baby and toddler swimming skills, water safety and lifesaving abilities at a pace that is right for your little one. Our parent and child swimming lessons are suitable from birth through to the age when your child is ready to swim independently (around 4-5 years).

Our award-winning swim programme is designed by industry experts and is child-led to suit their individual developmental stage. Every Turtle Tots teacher completes a rigorous training course to understand how babies communicate in their pre-verbal period and develop an understanding of how best to support their learning in this critical early stage of life. They are also skilled at understanding the progression toddlers and younger children make between the ages of 3 to 4 years and how they can best learn new skills throughout this time.

The skills we teach help children to build confidence both above and below the surface. Unlike other swim schools, much of the Turtle Tots swim programme takes place above the water and only introduces underwater swimming at a time that is right for your child.

Our lessons are great fun and include a unique combination of much-loved games and songs to ensure that your little one really enjoys the time they spend with you in the pool and develop a life-long love of water.

We pride ourselves on the exceptional experience we offer, both in and out of the pool. Most of our teachers and franchisee are parents themselves and have completed Turtle Tots swimming lessons with their own children, not only giving them the unique perspective of understanding how our parents and carers feel during their Turtle Tots journey, but the desire to deliver the same great experience they enjoyed with their own families.
