    Swimming was something that I knew I wanted my child to be confident in. Starting turtle tots was just the beginning of our swimming journey & it makes it all that more enjoyable with our Fantastic instructors; Bobbi and Charlotte It’s Good for you and your child to socialise too. We have just finished level 5 & have had such a great lesson, learning new songs & new swimming positions. My child now can get in and out of the pool and is so confident in water at only 16 months old. I feel really proud when my child learns a new skill & great pleasure in watching him enjoying the pool & his new friends. Completely recommend for bonding time with your baby & for some fun and exercise for you too. I can’t imagine not having this in our weekly schedule.

    I have been attending Turtle Tots East London and Essex for 6 months now and both me and my little one love these classes. Bobbi and her instructors ensure you feel very comfortable and are very welcoming, also ensuring your little one has as much fun as possible while learning in a safe and comfortable environment. The equipment they use is fantastic and Turtle Tots is also a great way for your little one to make friends and for you to meet new parents.

    I can not recommend Turtle Tots East London & Essex higher. My little one loves these classes. The instructors, the facilities and their way of teaching are all excellent. I personally have been incredibly impressed by Bobbi’s organisation, professionalism & friendly manor. My son is learning a life saving skill in a fun & friendly environment & making friends along the way. I couldn’t ask for more.

    I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and suffering from SPD (pelvic displacement caused by pregnancy) and also being investigated for psoriatic arthritis. I am in agony all the time and use crutches. My physiotherapist would only allow me to try water based exercise so decided to give the turtle tums class a go. I can honestly say that this class is the only thing that has given me pure relief. I feel pain free during the class and for a short time after. Helps me sleep that night as I come out feeling so relaxed. I can’t recommend this class enough for women suffering with aches and pains or even those experiencing a good pregnancy. Bobbi is just amazing. Very lovely and experienced. I just can’t wait to start the turtle tots class when baby comes along. Bobbi makes you feel relaxed and safe in her hands. You won’t regret booking onto this class. Its kept to a small number of ladies on each class so you really do get that personal touch, if the classes were any bigger that would be completely lost.

    Have been wanting to book and attend since February. Instructor promised to email me and also my friend as soon as class bookings opened neither of us recieved those promised emails. Pretty disappointing as I have now missed out on two slots I could have attended that filled before I was passed info (that I had to request each time). When I questioned this was told ladies already on the class get priorty booking for the next month so potentially I could go to a class at a time I could do at the end of May but only if I booked onto an April class I couldn't attend because of the time. That would give me priority for the next month. Or I could hope there is a space by luck, the instructor remembered to email to let me know the bookings are 'live' and I hadn't given birth by the time I can actually get on a class. Ridiculous and a disappointment seeing as I had thought I would get onto a class since Feb! Just wish the booking system was fairer I would have happily paid for my april classes in Feb but seems to be pure luck if you can get booked on.
