We promised it was a see you later and not a goodbye šŸ’š

We are happy to be firmly back in Scotland for good, we’ve been so lucky to bump into some of our past swimmers and hear how you’re all getting on.

We hear your are desperate for us to get back to teaching, unfortunately we just can’t compete with the big swim schools for the pool time so we’re coming to you for help!

If anyone has their own private pool or knows a friend/family member that has and would be willing to allow us to hire please drop us a wee message šŸŠšŸ»ā€ā™‚ļøšŸŠšŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

We’re hoping to bring our private 121 and 221 lessons back for those who have requested them 🐢

ā€¼ļøIMPORTANT POSTā€¼ļø

As some of you may know Gary and I are emigrating on Tuesday. We have a 2 year contract in Dubai, teaching swimming. When we started Little Turtles 8 months ago we never imagined to be so successful! We couldn’t have done it without all our amazing swimmers.

We had tried our best to secure staff members to continue lessons at Little Turtles, unfortunately this hasn’t worked out and we are sadly temporally closing. We are so sorry to let our swimmers down, anyone looking to continue lessons we would highly recommend the following two swim schools: Stepping Stones (group lessons only) and Evolution (group and private lessons). Rebecca has previously worked at both schools. They have great teachers and lessons similar to ours. We will miss all our swimmers greatly and hope you all continue your fabulous swimming. If we can be of any help please do not hesitate to send us a message.

All direct debits will be cancelled and you will receive a email confirmation.

It’s not a goodbye, it’s a see you lateršŸ’š

Rebecca, Gary and the Little Turtles Team 🐢

Jumping In 🤩

Our swimmers love jumping in! They look forward to it at the end of each lesson. Jumping in is a really important tool which why we teach it at the end of each lesson. Below you can see Luke, he jumps in and immediately turns to return to the pool edge. Now imagine Luke had fallen into water, the aim here is that he would do what he does in lessons and immediately turn to return to the side, this could be a life saving skill one day.
