Dive in with Turtle Tots

Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide and the highest drowning rates are amongst children aged four and under. Our mission is to teach babies, toddlers and young children essential water confidence and life-saving skills.   

The award winning Turtle Tots swimming program launched in the UK in 2011 and begins with baby swimming lessons from birth and continues with lessons for toddlers and young children up to the age of seven. 

Lessons are progressive and child-centred, with every child learning at their own pace, and an emphasis on fun! . 

Turtle Tots Swimming Lessons

Our unique swimming program can begin as soon as your child is born and whenever you are ready to start your baby swimming journey. Our lessons are suitable for children from birth, through to preschool and beyond.

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 0-14 months, our baby-centred lessons facilitate bonding and attachment, familiarising children with water and teaching them vital lifesaving skills through gentle and playful activities, songs, and games.

Toddler Swimming Lessons

Building on the strong foundations developed in their first year, from 14 months to 3 years, our swimming lessons consolidate the skills your child has learnt and introduce new swim 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.
