My daughter took lessons at Turtle Tots for around 15 months, ahead of starting school. When she started, she was scared to even enter the pool and clung to me during the whole lesson. By the time she finished, she was good enough to earn her first swimming badge! Her teacher Nic was always enthusiastic and encouraging her progress, which helped her to improve quickly.

I take my three year old granddaughter every Monday. I am really happy with the team. The teaching staff are brilliant and make it lots of fun.
The admin team and the staff at reception all go out of their way to assist. I have already recommended Turtle Tots to my family and friends. Keep up the good work.

My daughter started swimming at Turtle Tots at the age of 5 months until she started school and we have loved our lessons together. It has been a lovely activity to do together and my daughter is now very confident in the water.
