Lynsey
Hi, I’m Lynsey and I’m the proud owner of Turtle Tots in Dundee.
I live in Dundee with my Husband, 2 sons, cat and a dog…Yep, it’s a mad house!
I first started baby swimming lessons with my eldest son when he was 3 months old. I loved the classes so much, I loved how friendly our teacher was towards us both. I left the class every week thinking “I need to do that job”. 5 years later…here I am, not just teaching but having my own little part of the business. -

Hi, I’m Katie, I live in Dundee with my husband and 2 boys. When I started Turtle Tots with my first son 7 years ago it was the highlight of our week. It didn’t take long for me to realise I wanted to be a Turtle Tots teacher. When the opportunity presented itself not long after the arrival of my second son it was an easy decision to make! I have always enjoyed swimming and regard it as an important life skill. This, coupled with a growing interest in child development, means I have not only enjoyed my own Turtle Tots journey but also can’t wait to help you start your baby swimming lessons. See you in the pool!

Both of our boys have enjoyed turtle tots classes since they were 12 weeks old, and have loved every minute, they are both confident and happy in the water. The classes are fun and engaging but never pushy, there is no pressure for the wee ones to try anything before they are ready. Lynsey and Katie are both so friendly and welcoming, and the boys look forward to coming to along to their class every week!

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 .

Our daughter has been at Turtle Tots through baby and toddler classes and the classes have been great! We have both loved Lynsey’s lessons – the classes are thoughtful with lots of variety, fun and building of safety techniques/skills in each lesson. The atmosphere is lovely and the kids have formed a great bond too. Our daughter has loved the classes – giggling away and her confidence has grown so much!! She’s now two and half and our family have commented on her great confidence in the pool. Thank you so much, we’re sad to have to leave the class due to work schedules, but we’re still practicing listening to the fish in the bath!

We have loved our Turtle Tots journey!
My little boy has made good progress and gained confidence in the water and Lynsey has been an amazing teacher. The sessions are really good fun and we’ll be very sad to leave due to starting nursery.Alice -
My daughter and I have loved the swimming lessons! Lynsey is such a kind and patient teacher, and the classes are so relaxed. You never feel pressured into making your child do anything they don’t want to and my daughters confidence has come on leaps and bounds from just one term with turtle tots. Highly recommend!

Great way to introduce my little one to swimming. He absolutely loved his classes and meeting the other little ones. Thank you Turtle Tots!

Been taking my son to Turtle Tots lessons for over a year now, Katie has been great with him all the way. He’s really come out of his shell with the lessons and loves being in the water.

Turtle Tots was recommended by one of my friends in Edinburgh – we were a bit apprehensive to begin with because we didn’t quite know how the little one (then 5 months old) would react to being in such a big pool. We booked one taster session to begin with and she took to it literally like a fish to water! Both Katie and Lynsey are amazing teachers, and I think the swimming lesson is now one of her favourite activities at the weekend.

We have just completed our second block of Turtle Tots and loved it! My 9 month old is so comfortable in the pool and doing all the activities. Lynsey is great with the babies and explains everything well.
