Top Swimming schools in Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Excellent! We look forwards to attending every week. Rowan is a great instructor. Love her enthusiasm. We decided to attend Turtle Tots based on a friend's recommendation 👌

We love turtle tots! Both our boys have enjoyed lessons with a variety of different teachers and venues across the years. Our 5 year old is now an independent swimmer, loves water and most importantly knows some skills that would keep him safe in water. It’s great to see our 2 year old developing the same skills. Lessons with turtle tots have been a constant for the last 5 years and we’ve made some great friends along the way

I thoroughly recommend turtle tots Edinburgh. My first child swam with them from 5 months to 5 years and as a result is a really confident swimmer who loves the water. My youngest (2 years old) swims with Karina and she is absolutely wonderful at what she does. I can't sing her praises enough. All the teachers we have swam with over the years are so dedicated to the children they are there to teach. Wonderful people and a wonderful swim school

Ollie has been swimming with turtle tots since he was 4 months old and is
now just under 2. He loves swimming with Karina as his wee face lights up and he gets excited. She allows him to take things at his own pace and never pushes him into something he’s not comfortable with. My niece and nephew also learnt to swim with Karina 8 and 13 years ago. A great swim school that I’d highly recommend xxx

We have loved swimming with turtle tots from 8 weeks to almost 5yrs. The teachers have all been so friendly and engaging with both parents and children. They really have got the best swimming out of my children who are now very confident in the pool.

Turtle tots has been absolutely amazing teaching both our kids swimming and water safety. They do this in such a fun playful manner and it's a nice time to spend with your wee one in the pool. We've been with them now over five years and through this time found the communication excellent and always helpful and friendly. They are quick to inform us of any changes and reply fast. There's also now an app to notify your absence and book a make up class.

My daughter has been swimming with turtle tots since she was 4 months old. She's now 4 and a half. She has great confidence in the water and that's down to what she's been taught by the fabulous teachers she's swam with. She's had 4 different teachers and each one has been amazing. She loves all the songs they sing and how fun they make the lessons! The badges at the end of each term are a nice touch too! Turtle tot lessons are worth every single penny. Highly recommend them.

Have 2 kids in Turtle tots (4 year old and 1 1/2 year old) and I can't rate them highly enough. I started doing swimming classes with both kids as newborns as a nice activity to do and to build some water confidence. What I never expected is that Turtle tots would go from splashing around, singing songs all the way up to swimming and diving independently without aids. People never believe me at first when I tell them what my 4 year old can do. I show friends/family videos and people are as always shocked (as I was) that a child so young can dive independently and swim 10m independently.

My son has started to learn and took to it more easily thany daughter. So, I'm confident he will be doing the same when he's a little older.

I tried Edinburgh Leisure classes, too, but TT are way better. Also, when I talk to other parents who have kids in EL or other swimming classes, the toddlers are often taught how to swim with armbands, whereas TT teaches kids how to swim without armbands. Since my family is partial to a swimming pool or a beach holiday, I see TT classes as an investment in their safety and to develop a life skill.
