The Turtles organisation provides swimming tuition for children at private pools in Bexhill, East Sussex.

We operate lessons 2 days a week starting at Pre-school rising to County and Regional competitive levels, so we should be able to accommodate your needs somewhere within our structure.

Turtles' methodology provides its own personal approach to teaching but is in line with the National Plan for Teaching Swimming and the Amateur Swimming Association Awards Plan.

Our Instructors currently work with people of all ages and at all stages of development, bringing a solid background in swimming teaching which helps with our own unique methods.

Turtles was founded as an alternative for children who were facing long waiting lists to gain entry into swimming clubs. Also for those who preferred more personal tuition or were not necessarily comfortable being taught in large groups.

Most swim schools follow a basic swimming plan due to the large number of students being taught at the same time. This is not always conducive to efficient practice.

Pre-school and beginner students will be taught by intructors that specialise in that field. As you progress you will be taught by ASA Qualified Instructors and Top Level Competitive Swimmers. Individually bringing the enthusiasm and ability to teach and demonstrate speed, strength and technique to our students.

Turtles founder has been involved with competitive swimming and teaching for over 10 years, offering a wealth of experience to the programme and believes without a doubt that water works!

The immediate benefit to our student is that we do not teach large classes.

Unlike most other swim schools, Turtles lessons work on a ratio of 1 teacher/coach to 3 students. This allows our coaches to spend more time with each student to correct faults, teach racing technique and develop relationships that encourage our students to achieve. Our philosophy is to teach all student to become strong and technically correct swimmers with a view to competing in the future should they so wish.

We provide both half an hour and hour long sessions depending on age, ability and personal goals. Our method also allow the student more time to focus and retain teaching points, therefore, progressing at a faster rate.
