Autism swim classes - Turtletots, Dublin

Turtle Tots runs autism swim classes for children aged 3-6 years old. They are smaller classes of up to six children, and split into age groups  3-4 years, 4-5 years & 5-6 years and parents are in the pool with their children. 

They sing songs, play games, build confidence, swimming technique, and water safety skills in an inclusive environment. The pace of activities is slowed down with more opportunity for repetition, visual cues and cards are used, and better awareness for what’s needed is provided for children and their families.

All Turtle Tots Autism Swim teachers are highly experienced swimming teachers. They have received additional training just for these lessons, and all must continuously upskill to ensure they each have the latest tools and activities to best help the kids in their care.  Most Turtle Tots Autism Swim teachers have either children of their own on the spectrum too, or work with children with additional needs outside of Turtle Tots too.
