Swimming Lessons For 3 and 4 Year Olds

Turtle tots has taught both my children to be super confident in water. The classes are fun and varied, teaching the skills and techniques needed to be water confident and also learning the basic strokes through fun games and activities. The classes are small and delivered in lovely warm pools, perfect for little ones. I would definitely recommend turtle tots and will be sad to finish swimming with them now my children are older.

Turtle tots have been a great starting point to build Thomas’s confidence, they have been lots of fun we will miss going but it is time for him to move to classes without a parent. Thank you to Narelle and Laura for being a key part in building his confidence

We moved our three-year old son to Turtle Tots from another swim school where he refused to get in the water. Within a few minutes of session starting he was smiling, splashing and taking part eagerly and has been ever since thanks to their approach of allowing parents in the pool with them. He has come on leaps and bounds in his confidence since starting. We look forward to enrolling his younger siblings when they are old enough.

My daughter has absolutely loved her time at Turtle Tots. Starting from refusing to even enter the pool she has progressed really well to joining in with everything, being able to go at her own pace but lots of encouragement have really helped. She also loves all the songs! Whilst it is time for her to move to ‘big’ lessons without a parent in the pool we will definitely miss coming to Turtle Tots.

I have been taking my twins to Turtle Tots for 7 years. Their water confidence is amazing, and they understand the importance of swimming as a life skill. At the heart of Turtle Tots is water safety which is what attracted me to them but the knowledgeable and caring teachers make it a lovely environment to swim with.

My daughter has been attending turtle tots since she was 12 weeks old, the instructors fun way of teaching via nursery rhymes whilst learning the techniques to swim independently. My daughter’s confidence has grown so much, she is now 4 years old and swimming with very little aid. I’m my busy life it’s hard to make time to go to the pool for fun, these classes keep me committed to doing this. Thanks to Cathy and her team

We have been customers of Turtle Tots NI for almost 6 years now with our 3 children. It has been fanatic to watch them grow in confidence and develop such an important life skill, all while having fun. The lessons are child-centred and extremely engaging. Teachers Cathy, Christina and Sapphire are all very knowledgable and caring and put both the adults and children at ease in the water. Would highly recommend ⭐️

The Turtle Tots programme is very different to many baby swimming classes. All three of my children have loved their swimming classes with Turtle Tots. Many people see baby swimming as simply a splash about for fun and maybe some water confidence. But these classes are so so much more! We loved the child led ethos as this is so important to me and children learn faster and in a more sustainable way like this. All of my children have been able to swim independently much earlier than they otherwise would and my 8 year old is now a confident technique swimmer. She started when she was 10 weeks old. My just turned 3 year old is happy and confident in the pool which is great for our up coming holiday. He can swim small distances himself. My 5 year old is the most confident and for her age is well ahead of most others. I just love the fact the teachers do a diploma in baby and preschool teaching so if you are looking for quality classes for you and your wee one to enjoy look no further than Cathy and team!

We started turtle tots when my son was around 4months, he is almost 4years old now and loves he water. He gets so excited when it’s time for his swimming class with Cathy and loves to see his friends. Turtle Tots is the best swimming class you will find, looking forward to starting his little sister soon. Thank you to all the team

I take my granddaughter to Jen at The Marriott in Hale Barns. The pool itself is beautiful and always a great temperature which is a great start for little ones. Jen is very friendly and patient and has an excellent way with the children. My granddaughter is on her 2nd session of lessons with the 4 and unders, she is the oldest, and the majority are now swimming, one like a dolphin!, or starting to swim unaided and they all thoroughly enjoy their lessons. Highly recommended

My grandson began as a lockdown tot very afraid of the water but we joined Turtle Tots who were very patient and let him develop his own confidence. At age 4 he has taken the leap and is now swimming unaided and also confident under water . I would highly recommend Turtle Tots and their teaching methods .

I’ve been taking my little boy to Turtle Tots, Fylde since he was 9 weeks old, he is now 4.5 and we are just about to finish as he’s starting he school. I cannot recommend Vicky enough, she is amazing and so good with my son, he is confident in the water and has achieved his 5m badge plus all his turtle tots ones.
Every week the lessons are fun and engaging and he loves them! I will miss this precious time with him every week
Thank you Vicky and all at Sandpearl.
