Hi there! Welcome!
How big are your babies? It could be normal, since actually "normal" is in each turtles induviduality. One of mine swims great then goes to the bottom and only rises for air. The little one swims mostly on top of the water and then gets on the dock. As long as they are eating, swimming and breathing fine all should be okay!

I wouldnt worry Chefglue...
If you have only had them a short period of time it will take them a while to get used to the tank and set-up etc. Then later they should start acting and swimming better!
