About Tonbridge Sea Turtles

Anything is possible, when we do it together. 

A new adventure

Tonbridge Sea Turtles has been borne from the real and personal experiences, of there being a lack of competitive swimming provisions for the Disabled community in and around West Kent. The time came where it was right to step-up and provide the opportunity for first class teaching and coaching, where athletes can have the opportunity to compete at every level available to them.

About our founders

As a leadership team, we have decades of combined experience in teaching and coaching swimming, working with Disabled athletes, even some disabilities of our own and extensive experience in disability swimming. We are passionate, dedicated and committed to providing a long-term, permanent solution to this geographical gap in competitive inclusive swimming.

Our Vision and Mission

Our Club is not only a Club, it is a family. Where athletes and parents are as much a part of the Club, as the Management Team. We actively encourage parents to come on board as part of our Committee, attend the AGMs and share in decisions and help shape the future of the Club. We are all part of this team and if we work together, there are no limits to what we can achieve.

Competitions

Attending and competing in galas; social, local, regional and national, is a wonderful experience and community atmosphere that every athlete should have the opportunity to participate in, if they wish to. (There is no obligation). 

As a Coaching team, we have a vast amount of experience in attending local, regional and National galas, including Special Olympics galas. Our aim, is to gain Swim England and Special Olympics Accreditation and open this incredible door to all of our athletes. SO GB are one of the biggest ambassadors of Disability swimming and we can't wait to share their support with you.
