   We’ve absolutely loved our experience with Little Turtle Swim Company so far. Claire is so calm, in tune and incredibly patient with both parents and babies who are new to the pool. The groups are small and intimate, so it genuinely feels like a 1:2:1 swimming class, which has made a huge difference to our confidence in the water. I also really appreciate how supported we’ve felt before even getting in the pool. Little swimmers can start from as early as 6 weeks, and Zara is always at hand to chat through what you need for the sessions. All the information is clearly laid out in the confirmation emails once you’ve booked, but she’s still happy to talk through any worries and even send links to swimwear tailored to your baby’s specific needs. The classes run in 6-week blocks and have become a lovely weekly routine for us. The focus is very much on helping newborns and parents feel relaxed and comfortable in the water, while gently encouraging floatation, rotation, propulsion and immersion through sensory play. You can really see how it all builds towards the babies becoming confident little swimmers over time, rather than rushing anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Little Turtle Swim Company to any new parent looking for a supportive, nurturing and confidence-building start to swimming.

   I have tried a few swim companies for babies and children and this is by far the best! Best value for money, family run business, kind, caring, respectful and highly knowleadgeable. I would definitely recommend, well, I always do! I have just returned with my third baby after a while (big gap) and it's the highlight of our week, it's the activity I enjoy the most with my baby, such a joy seeing her so happy and having such fun and joy in the water, knowing she is learning life skills in a child led environment where she is respected and treated as a person. ❤️

   Zara and her crew do an amazing job at creating fun and play based lessons! My girls cannot wait to go every week and discover what theme it is! There is no pressure to dunk or dive it's all child lead which has meant no tears and a willingness to engage in all the lesson! Thoroughly recommend Little Turtles Swim Company to anyone in the MK and surrounding areas!

   I found this amazing swim company in 2017 with my eldest child and we have been back each time with my other two children. Zara and her wonderful swimming teacher team really are amazing. Not only are they extremely highly qualified in their field but they care so much for each child’s individual swim journeys. They provide engaging, play based lessons which my children love. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thank you! Xx

   I have been taking my son to Little Turtles since he was three months old. We have had, and continue to have, loads of fun in the pool with the team. Their expertise and knowledge has supported my little boy to become confident, happy and independent in the pool. As a parent, I love the knowledge and reasoning the team share with us about why they are encouraging the children to take part in the different activities and how best to support this. It is with this knowledge that has enabled me, as a parent, to confidently take my little boy swimming on my own. Not only does the team support the children's ability to become confident swimmers, they also support the parents to become confident educators when taking their little one swimming out of the regular sessions. I absolutely LOVE the way that each class is fun, engaging and each activity has a purposeful meaning to each individual child in order for them to reach their own achievements. It is extremely rare to come across a class that can offer and support each child's learning and development ability, therefore, making each session fully inclusive to all the children and parents/carers. Little Turtles supports, encourages and praises each child to learn and develop in swimming, at their own pace! The team bring such a happy and cheerful atmosphere to each class making it easier for the children to relax, learn and have fun in the pool every single week! The team are very friendly and know the children very well, enabling them to support each child the best that they can! I cannot thank Zara, Lorna, Claire and the whole team for the support, encouragement and continuing knowledge that they provide every week to the classes! It is with you guys that my son has developed a HUGE amount of confidence and love for the water! It was only a few months ago he wouldn't even entertain using a woggle or jumping in but it is with your expertise and support that he is happy and confident to do so! I cannot recommend Little Turtle Swim Company enough!! A huge thank you to all of the team for making our swimming journey the BEST! (A few photos to show how much fun we have swimming with Little Turtles)!

   We have swum with little turtles for 6 years now, 3 children all starting at 4 months old! My children all have the most amazing confidence in the water and have a very good understanding of water safety. At times I had 3 children swimming back to back in lessons and had a lot of help and support poolside and in the pool as sometimes needed with my twins. Our swim journey is coming to an end now as my twins start school, an end of an era and I’ll be very sad to say goodbye! I highly recommend little turtles and the team
