Turtle Tots Edinburgh

Turtle Tots Edinburgh We're passionate about teaching babies and young children to swim❤️ I'm Karina and I own Turtle Tots Edinburgh & East Lothian.

Turtle Tots is an innovative and unique swimming programme, which begins during pregnancy and continues once your baby is born. Mums-to-be can join our Turtle Tums aquanatal yoga classes which help you prepare for pregnancy and birth. Once your baby is born you can join our Turtle Tots and Turtle Toddlers programme which teaches you how to teach your child to swim in a relaxed and sociable environ

ment. All our programmes have been devised in conjunction with a personal trainer to ensure that mums (and dads!) receive a work-out while swimming with their babies to help with post-natal fitness and well-being. As an ex-competitive swimmer and lifeguard, and now the mother to three amazing children, I understand how much fun it is to spend quality time with your child at baby classes and how much of a really special bonding experience it can be. I am delighted to be able to share my love of the water with other mums and dads and their babies, and also to help teach water confidence and a potentially lifesaving skill. Please contact us at any time with any questions and we really look forward to meeting you at one of our fun classes sometime soon:)

14 years ago today this was me, about to embark on a super scary new adventure, teaching my first Turtle Tots classes🐢💦 With a 2 year old and an 8 month old I wanted to do something I loved, and was passionate about, and that worked around my children. So I took the leap and left the world of science behind, and started my little swimming business.

In my wildest dreams I never thought it could be so amazing, and that we would support so many children to love the water. I thought I would teach a few classes each week myself and hopefully give other parents the confidence to start their little one on their swimming journey. But what a 14 years it has been!

With the most fabulous small team of teachers, who are as passionate as I am about what we do, and the most fabulous families swimming with us, I can only say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has ever been part of this incredible journey. Your support for our small business means the world, and we hope to teach many, many more children to swim over the next 14 years❤️

Calling all our wonderful Turtle Tots families! 🐢💙

We are looking for a few parents and little swimmers to star in some upcoming video content for our social media pages! 🎥✨

We’d love to record a super short, friendly chat at poolside to hear:
• Why you love swimming with us 💦
• Your favorite moments in class 👶
• Any top tips for parents starting out!

It only takes 2–3 minutes before or after your usual class, and we’ll keep it completely relaxed and fun.

If you and your little turtle would be up for helping us out (and getting a little social media fame!), send us a quick message or pop a comment below! 👇📱

Back to school or nursery and the pesky bugs start doing the rounds!🤧🤕

But, did you know that we offer up to 3 make up classes per term (spaces allowing)?! It’s one of the things that makes Turtle Tots a little different 🐢

If your little one is under the weather, we offer three make up classes each term subject to availability. If you know you’re going to miss a class, please cancel your place as soon as possible to free up the space for someone else juggling classes - thank you!
