Swimming Lessons in Telford & Shrewsbury: 6 Weeks +
At Tiny Swimming, we believe every child should develop a lifelong love for the water. Our swimming lessons are built on a child-led approach, ensuring that your little one feels safe, confident, and supported at every stage.
Whether you are looking for baby swimming (from 6 weeks old) or transition classes for toddlers, our expert instructors focus on gentle techniques rather than forced movements. We keep our class sizes small to ensure personalised attention, helping children progress through our unique award scheme at their own pace.

Our Turtles Programme
Stage 1: Baby Sensory (6 Weeks – 18 Months) Turtles 1 & 2

Stage 2: Toddler Confidence (18 Months – 3 Years) Turtles 3, 4 & 5
Focus: Building independence and core water safety.
What to expect: Developing a propulsive kick, learning safe entry and exit, and gaining the confidence to move away from a parent’s support in a safe, small-group setting.
Stage 3: Pre-School Mastery (3 Years – 5 Years) Turtles 6, 7 & 8
Focus: Stroke development and independent swimming.
What to expect: Refined breathing techniques, swimming over short distances, and advanced water mastery to prepare them for a lifetime of swimming.
