Turtle Tots Yorkshire is a specialist baby & preschool swimming school delivering classes in the Harrogate, York and Leeds area. Our unique and fun Turtle Tots baby, toddler and pre-school swimming classes teach you how to swim with your young child, creating that special one-to-one bond and also giving you a fantastic toning workout at the same time! We are now also delivering weekend classes for school age children (up to Key Stage 2) in Harrogate, York and East Leeds.
We pride ourselves on being a very different and personable baby and pre-school swim school and our class emphasis is on nurturing the parent & baby bond. This is achieved through gentle water massage and closeness with your baby in the early stages, whilst also teaching through play and word association and assisting with post natal fitness. Our toddler and pre-school classes continue with this close nurturing, but with a lot more communication directly between the teacher and the little ones.
We teach them Water safety skills to help improve their confidence in the water, the introduction of basic stroke skills and to keep their attention span with lots of fast and fun water activity play and games, and progression onto swimming independently with and without aides at their own pace.
Our swimming classes are held in warm water pools and you can join our Aqua Natal classes at anytime during your pregnancy. Our swimming classes for babies, toddlers and kids continue right up to your little one starting school and beyond. All of our programmes are designed in conjunction with qualified aquatics specialists in baby and pre-school swimming development. In addition, Turtle Tots teachers right across the UK are fully qualified in all aspects of Swim School teaching from baby & parent through to adult tuition and they are continually developing their skills in aquatic baby and pre-school development too. As we are a national network, we are able to share valuable experiences and ideas within our teams with lots of expertise and advice on hand to share to the wider community.
We run classes on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday in the Harrogate area. Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday in York and Sunday in East Leeds, plus we offer a free taster sessions to see if you and your little one would enjoy a structured swimming class.
