    • We’ve taken our 3 year old to Turtle Tots since he was 7 weeks old. His love and confidence in the water has grown so much and he always enjoys coming to the lessons. Thank you to all the teachers and staff for the dedication and professionalism you have shown. I’d highly recommend Turtle Tots and we will really miss our sessions with everyone.

    • Amazing Staff, very friendly, my daughter loves it. Would highly recommend it

    • Learning to swim with Turtle tots is my favourite day of the week, my son loves the water and his teacher! It’s a beautiful way to spend time together especially when they are a bit too small for soft play! A lovely atmosphere and way to make friends 🙂

    • I’ve been taking my daughter to swimming lessons for 6 months and she absolutely loves each session. The team are all really friendly, helpful and supportive and embrace all the chaos that comes with having a group of babies in a pool!

    • My daughter has been having swimming lessons with Turtle Tots since she was a young baby. She absolutely loves her sessions and looks forward to them every week. She has learnt so much and done so in a fun way. I’d recommend Turtle Tots lessons highly.

    • Great lessons, that are fun and interactive for our little one. So glad we booked in from a young age.

    • We love Turtle Tots. Such lovely staff. Otis has loved swimming and we look forward to it every week. The staff are always welcoming and engaging and give you all the confidence you need with your little ones in the water. We can’t wait to continue our journey and watch Otis develop into a little water baby!

    • Turtle tots has been fantastic swimming class to join and me & my daughter have been going since she was 3/4 months old they are so fantastic my daughter has learnt so much and is so confident in the water and even happy going underwater which I think is amazing it been lovely to meet other parents and to have your own little group and your own swim instructor who are so supportive and amazing at what they do I find turtle tots was the best choice I made my daughter and I’ve never looked back affordable and so enjoyable highly recommend others to join

    • Turtle Tots is a lovely class to introduce your little ones to the water. The classes are gentle yet fun with new elements introduced gradually to build up confidence. We’ve been taking our eldest since she was 4 weeks and our youngest since 6 weeks – they’re now now 3 and 2 and love to go swimming each week! Our eldest is close to being an independent swimmer and our youngest just smiles and laughs through each class! We’re so glad we chose Turtle Tots to help our girls on their swimming journies!

    • I cannot recommend Turtle Tots enough. Living on the coast, we were keen for our little one to learn how to swim from an early age. He started swimming at 5 months old, and in just 2 short months his abilities have come on so much. He absolutely adores the sessions and gets very excited to be in the pool
      The instructors are brilliant and you rarely see a crying child. They are so friendly, helpful, patient and 30minutes flies past so quickly)

      The songs are catchy (you’ll find yourself singing them everywhere) and the lessons are fun and engaging, whilst also embedding those essential skills

      Behind the scenes, administration can’t be faulted. Emails are answered quickly, payment was simple, and the online portal for cancellation and rebooking sessions is really user friendly

      We are looking forward to starting our second term, and hope to enjoy a good long relationship with T.T as our little ones skills advance

    • My little boy loves swimming here,has been swimming since 10 weeks old and has been amazing for him.

    • I absolutely love Turtle Tots. I look forward to it every week with my little boy. This is the 2nd time I have been to Turtle Tots, as I went there also with my little boy, who is 6 years old now.
      The lessons are great and you get to have a lovely bonding time with your baby, as well as have fun at the same time. You also learn about and teach your little one about water safety, which is extremely important. The staff are always lovely and willing to help you whenever you need assistance. I can’t recommend Turtle Tots enough it is the best and very good value for money.
