“My LO started at 3.5months old and Anna was patient, friendly, inviting and informative. Each session has been so much fun and my LO every week loves being in the pool and splashing away! It is also been a great way of chatting to other mums. There is no pressure for the babies to so any of the activities and it’s completely child led. I would highly recommend Turtle Tots - Anna is amazing!! A truly brilliant first time experience with a LO swimming and excited to see how he grows”
“We have just completed our first term of “Turtle Tots”. The classes are multi-ability grouped according to age. I loved the way we could join in straight away even though my 2 year old hadn’t done any swimming before. I liked Kathy’s child-led approach, particularly around jumping in / noodles / toys. The emphasis is always on fun and babies are never forced to do anything they don’t want to do. The classes were a convenient time and location for us. Kathy is very personable, supportive and always has time for questions. She has been so friendly and easy to communicate with. From our very first visit, we were made to feel really welcome. Singing and repetition is a big part of the routine for the Turtle Tots classes, which my daughter loves! During our first couple of sessions, my daughter was a little nervous and sometimes cried when we tried new things or she got her face wet. Now she squeals with laughter through most of the class. Swimming classes have now become part of our weekly routine, and my daughter often asks if we’re going swimming when we get in the car. We can’t wait for the new term! Thanks so much Kathy and team.

“I cannot recommend Turtle Tots Cardiff enough! It has been absolutely incredible for my baby’s confidence in the water. I’ve been taking my little girl since she was 3 months and she loves it (bath time is also a breeze since attending). Unlike other swim schools I’ve tried with my older children, which used pushy techniques that actually dented their confidence, Turtle Tots seem to take a different approach. Cath and the team truly understand babies and what works best for them, creating a calm, supportive, and fun environment.
The whole ethos of Turtle Tots is spot on—it’s all about nurturing and encouraging at the baby’s pace. My little one absolutely loves the sessions, and I’ve been amazed at how much progress we’ve made without any pressure. It’s such a joy to see my baby happy and confident in the water. By far the best swim school experience I’ve had.”
“I’m so glad we signed up for Turtle Tots NI. Cathy is so friendly and patient. My little girl started when she was just 3 months old and was nervous at first but the classes focus on getting them comfortable in the water through songs and simple exercises. She now loves the pool and bath time always splashing and kicking with excitement. Overall I highly recommend turtle tots NI for any parent wanting to introduce their babies to the water in a safe and relaxed way. We can’t wait til next term!”
“My daughter started classes with Cathy at 4 months in the baby bath class, she went from absolutely hating water and bath time, so loving it so fast! I’ve seen a huge difference in her over the past few months, shes now 10 months and In her second term with turtle tots and absolutely loves going into the pool every week for lessons”
“Id highly recommend Cathy for baby lessons. My little one started at 5 months old and is loving it. Cathy is so patient with babies and the mammies
Thank you”
“Turtle tots is such a lovely and friendly environment for wee ones. The classes aren’t huge and the teachers know every child’s name. It’s great watching your baby develop every week and their confidence growing with the support from the instructors.”
