Pregnancy Fitness Classes- Turtle Tots Calderdale Craven and Pendle

Hello and a big welcome from Turtle Tots Calderdale, Craven and Pendle. My name is Tamsin and I live in West Yorkshire with my husband Ian, young son Tom and our dog Merry. My Turtle Tots journey started when I took my son to the classes. I loved having special bonding time, away from the distractions of busy life, whilst at the same time watching him develop and grow in confidence both above and below the water. All of this made me jump at the opportunity to teach babies and toddlers to swim!

I believe that swimming is not only fun and brilliant for physical fitness but is also an extremely important life skill. Having been a primary school teacher for 7 years I have witnessed first-hand that the earlier children are introduced to water the more confident and safer they are.

Our aim is to provide fun and progressive swimming lessons for you and your child to enjoy together. Your little turtle will develop water confidence, learn essential life-saving skills and learn to swim both above and below the water. Please email tamsin.foxon@turtletots.com or phone me anytime on 07891500149 to find out more about our swimming classes in your area. I hope you will come and join in the fun and learn to swim the Turtle Tots way!

Turtle Tots Calderdale Craven and Pendle provides aquanatal, post natal, swimming, baby swimming and toddler swimming classes in Buckinghamshire. Contact for more details.
