If your turtle is only 2 inches or so, then there's something already wrong.
What are you feeding it?
Any lighting? Basking lamps?
How often do you change the water?
In the end, it will need a tank of around 150 gallons to swim, as with most aquatic turtles.
They're either basking, or swimming.
They can grow to a large size in that tank, but take the advice Sue gave.
They will be stunted eventually, and can develop shell curl.
