Here's why we're different...
Not only do we teach thousands of babies, toddlers, 3 and 4 year olds to swim every week through our inspiring and award-winning swimming lesson programme, and support and prepare mums-to-be with our Turtle Tums Aquanatal Yoga classes, we support families to grow and flourish, to develop a life-long love of water and build memories that will last a lifetime.
Turtle Tots is one of the leading baby, toddler and preschool swim schools in the UK. Through a network of exceptional business owners, teachers and support staff, we teach thousands of little ones to swim every week with our inspiring and award-winning swim programme. Our aim is to provide children with the vital lifesaving skill of swimming by developing an understanding of water safety and teaching technique in a fun, sensitive and child-led way. Most of our customers choose Turtle Tots when their baby is very young and stay with us throughout their early years, enjoying their journey towards a life-long love of water.
Where it all began
From a passion for safety, child-led development, and a love of the water, grew one of the largest Baby, Toddler and Preschool swim schools in the UK and Ireland.
World-class teachers
Make the right choice when it comes to baby, toddler, and preschool swimming lessons. Not only are we industry specialists, but our world-class teachers are also highly trained to deliver our award-winning swim programme.
What we stand by
As a network of family-owned businesses, we understand what it is like to be a parent of a newborn, baby, toddler, or preschooler and have tailored our experience to exceed your expectations at every level.
Supporting our local communities
Our classes help nurture a healthy and happy family life in the pool. We are committed to replicating that support for the local communities surrounding our pools too.
People Who Care
Most of our franchisees and teachers joined Turtle Tots after bringing their own children to our lessons. They loved our ethos and believed in our programme so much that they decided to join a team dedicated to making a difference to the lives of babies and young children. Their experience means that they understand our customers needs, and go above and beyond to deliver the same special experience they enjoyed with their own families.

Our daughter has been going to Turtle Tots since she was just 3 months old, and we honestly couldn’t recommend it enough!
Not only does she absolutely love the classes, but she’s also made some amazing friendships that we hope will last a lifetime. The classes are fantastic, the instructors are brilliant, and it’s been so lovely watching her confidence grow in the water.
We’re so glad we started her at Turtle Tots — we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone!Anonymous -
