About Turtle Tots - Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane
Turtle Tots runs baby and toddler swimming classes at Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane, by Grand Canal Dock in Dublin 2, part of the nationwide Turtle Tots Ireland franchise. The hotel pool is kept warm at around 30 degrees and 1.2m deep, with classes for babies, toddlers and 3 to 4 year olds taught through songs, games and a structured progression of water skills.
A parent or guardian gets into the pool for every lesson. Thermal swim layers are recommended, non-potty-trained children need a double swim nappy, and goggles are suggested once a child reaches toddler or preschool level.
Parking around the hotel is on-street and metered, with underground car parks nearby as an alternative. Male and female changing rooms with baby-changing facilities are provided, though buggies must be left at reception rather than brought in. Classes run across four 10-week terms a year, timed around the Irish school calendar, with late enrolment possible in a term's first two weeks and a waiting list for full sessions.
