# Turtle Tots at Ashurst Lodge
Turtle Tots Southampton, managed by Sian Green, is a specialist swimming school offering structured aquatic programmes for young children and expectant mothers. Located at Ashurst Lodge in Southampton, the facility serves families with babies, toddlers, and children up to seven years old, alongside pregnant women seeking prenatal wellness.
The school's core philosophy centres on child-led learning within a supportive environment. For the youngest swimmers, lessons combine essential water confidence building with songs, games, and bonding opportunities between parent and child. As children progress toward independence (ages 5-7), the focus shifts to developing proper technique, water safety skills, and fostering a genuine enthusiasm for swimming that extends beyond the classroom.
What distinguishes Turtle Tots is their commitment to qualified instruction and early years expertise. Teachers are fully qualified swimming instructors trained to exceptionally high standards with specialised knowledge of early childhood development and communication. This ensures lessons adapt to each child's individual pace and temperament rather than forcing progression.
The business extends beyond children's swimming through Turtle Tums Aquanatal Yoga—weekly classes designed to help pregnant women prepare physically and mentally for birth and motherhood whilst building community connections with other expectant mothers. With multiple pool facilities across Southampton locations (Thornhill, Ashurst, and Bitterne), the school provides accessible scheduling options. The flexible booking system allows families to find classes matching their needs, with additional support available through direct contact for customised arrangements.
