IMPORTANT: Turtles are often held wrongly. They should always be picked up with two hands, with fingers both on top of the carapace and underneath the plastron to support. "Swimming" in the air is not cute - it is a sign of stress in the turtle - they need to feel something under their feet - even if it is just your fingers or palm.
