The Turtle Tots community has spoken, and the results are in! After a fun and engaging naming competition, the adorable new mascot has been officially named Shelley.

The Meaning Behind the Name
Shelley is more than just a cute face; she represents the values and principles that Turtle Tots stands for. These include joyful first experiences in the water, confidence and courage as little ones grow and learn, safety, trust, and reassurance, and fun, laughter, and family bonding every time you visit the pool. As a mascot, Shelley will be a constant reminder of these values and will help to create a positive and supportive environment for children to learn and grow.
The Turtle Tots team was impressed by the creativity and thoughtfulness of the name suggestions, with many names reflecting the values and principles of the organization. The team enjoyed reading the special reasons why each name was suggested and the personal stories behind them. This process not only helped to choose a name for the mascot but also provided valuable insights into what the community values and expects from Turtle Tots.
