In fact, reading the latest statistics, more than half of TikTok\u2019s audience are now women aged 45 and under. Gen Z\u2019s make up the majority spending an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialfilms.co.uk\/blog\/tiktok-uk-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">average of 41 minutes<\/a>\u00a0a day on the app.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore a powerful marketing tool for Turtle Tots, and it\u00a0will help us reach, connect and engage with a new generation of parents\u00a0in a fun and visually exciting way &#8211; while\u00a0educating audiences on all the wonderful benefits of baby swimming and our unique approach to teaching.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Turtle Tots HQ, we are very excited about joining TikTok this month, and to help us we\u2019ve engaged the support of our expert baby swimming teachers and franchisees.<\/p>\n<p>Our Turtle Tots TikTok team (our TT\u2019s for short) providing the video content will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alexa McInally \u2013 Turtle Tots Falkirk &amp; Stirling<\/li>\n<li>Natalie Marshall \u2013 Turtle Tots North Kent<\/li>\n<li>Rebecca Burdus\u2013 Turtle Tots Exeter<\/li>\n<li>Carys\u00a0Heffer\u00a0\u2013 Turtle Tots Bristol<\/li>\n<li>Shania Little, Turtle Tots East Berks &amp; Buck<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Head over to our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/turtletotsuk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook page<\/a> to see if you recognise any of them!<\/p>\n<p>So what you can look forward to seeing on TikTok? we have so many ideas!
