TURTLE TOTS LESSONS AND CLASSES
Whether you are a parent with a newborn, baby, toddler, preschooler, or older child up to 4.5 years old, we offer swimming lessons to support your child’s well-being and development. Turtle Tots was created with the aim of teaching water safety skills, lifesaving techniques, and swimming skills, while also building confidence and fostering a lifelong love of water. Plus, we have lots of fun along the way!

We are passionate about teaching baby and toddler swimming skills, water safety and lifesaving abilities at a pace that is right for your little one. Our parent and child swimming lessons are suitable from 3 months through to the age when your child is ready to swim independently (around 4-5 years).
Our award-winning swim programme is designed by industry experts and is child-led to suit their individual developmental stage. Every Turtle Tots teacher completes a rigorous training course to understand how babies communicate in their pre-verbal period and develop an understanding of how best to support their learning in this critical early stage of life. They are also skilled at understanding the progression toddlers and younger children make between the ages of 4 to 5 years and how they can best learn new skills throughout this time.
The skills we teach help children to build confidence both above and below the surface. Unlike other swim schools, much of the Turtle Tots swim programme takes place above the water and only introduces underwater swimming at a time that is right for your child.
Our lessons are great fun and include a unique combination of much-loved games and songs to ensure that your little one really enjoys the time they spend with you in the pool and develop a life-long love of water.
We pride ourselves on the exceptional experience we offer, both in and out of the pool. Most of our teachers are parents themselves and have completed Turtle Tots swimming lessons with their own children, not only giving them the unique perspective of understanding how our parents and carers feel during their Turtle Tots journey, but the desire to deliver the same great experience they enjoyed with their own families.
THE BENEFITS OF SWIMMING

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.

Swimming Lessons for 3 and 4 Year Olds
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.
