    • So far we have been to 4 lessons and my boy has just turned 5 months old he absolutely loves the classes and knows where he is in the changing rooms and is so happy. Angela is great with him and if he gets a little overwhelmed she’s patient and he calms down really quickly.

    • Wow! We absolutely love our Turtle Tot lessons. From prenatal swimming yoga to toddler lessons, I couldn’t fault it. Angela has always gone above and beyond to support our needs, whether it’s an unexpected cancelled lesson to a class swap. My daughter LOVES swimming and it’s the highlight of her week. We would not go anywhere else! Thank you for teaching my daughter to swim and giving me the confidence to support her in water.
