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 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 advanceCatheryne -

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.Martina -
