Aquanatal

Our Aquanatal class is a fun, safe form of exercise specifically designed for pregnancy from around 12 weeks until baby arrives. The water offers a wonderful therapeutic and supportive environment, and creates welcoming buoyancy and weightlessness which enables the freedom to stretch, breathe and exercise far beyond capacity on dry land, resulting in an optimum full-body workout for you and your baby. Our holistic approach provides a perfect balance of relaxation, cardio-vascular and muscle strengthening exercise to help cope with the increasing demands on the body during pregnancy and prepares for birth.

...A full-body workout to music in the pool is just what the Midwife orders...giving your body the best possible workout with the benefits of weightlessness and therapeutic effects of the water...

Bring along a bottle of water to keep on the poolside for hydration

You may feel more comfortable wearing a supportive bra under your costume
