# Turtle Tots at Montacute School
Turtle Tots is a specialised swimming school based in Poole, delivering early years aquatic education and prenatal wellness classes. Led by experienced instructor Sian Green and her team of fully qualified swimming teachers, the school caters to families from pregnancy through to seven years old.
The business focuses on child-led, play-based learning for babies and toddlers through to four-year-olds, combining structured swimming instruction with songs, games and bonding activities that foster a genuine love of water. As children progress and develop independence between five and seven years, the programme shifts emphasis toward technique refinement and confidence building.
What distinguishes Turtle Tots is their deep understanding of early years development and communication. Teachers are trained to the highest standards with specialised knowledge of how young children learn, ensuring each skill is introduced at the appropriate pace for individual children rather than following rigid progression.
Beyond traditional swimming lessons, Turtle Tots offers Turtle Tums Aquanatal Yoga—dedicated classes for expectant mothers. These sessions combine physical preparation for birth with mindfulness and community, allowing pregnant women to connect with other mums-to-be whilst preparing their bodies and minds for labour and motherhood.
The school operates from multiple pool facilities, with flexible timetables designed to accommodate busy family schedules. Their child-centred approach, combined with expert qualifications and specialised early years training, positions them as a premium provider of infant and toddler aquatic education.
