Turtle Tots has been fantastic for our daughter to build confidence and learn new skills in the water. They are very efficient and easy to deal with, with no query left unanswered! Our instructor (Lauren) has been fantastic from the begining and she makes the class so inclusive and enjoyable for the little ones. Thank you!Posted on Google![]()

BABY & TODDLER SWIMMING LESSONS
Our unique swimming programme begins from 3 months of age – and continues throughout your child’s early years up until 5 years of age.

Baby Swimming Lessons
The first year of your baby’s life is the perfect time to gently introduce your child to swimming and begin a lifelong love of water. From 3 to 17 months, our baby-centred lessons facilitate bonding and attachment, familiarising children with water and teaching them vital lifesaving skills through playful activities, songs, and games.

Toddler Swimming Lessons
Building on the strong foundations and physical milestones developed after their first year, our swimming lessons for toddlers aged from 18 months and 2 year olds consolidate the skills your child has learnt so far, and introduce new swim & safety skills appropriate for your child’s age and stage.

Preschool Swimming Lessons
During our lessons for 3 and 4 year olds, children will gradually learn to master the skills introduced during their baby and toddler lessons whilst also progressing to recognisable swimming skills including back and front strokes, streamlining, rotation, diving for objects, treading water and floating.

Autism Swim Lessons
Smaller group swimming lessons for children with Autism aged between 3 and 6 years. Our goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment, and to bring children forward on their swimming journey and help them get ready to join group swimming lessons for older kids.
