PREGNANCY SWIMMING CLASSES IN LONDON

Keeping yourself active during pregnancy is an excellent way to stay feeling at your best. However, as your body is going through so many different changes you may feel unsure about which exercises you can and do and those that you should avoid. While starting an intense exercise regime is not advised during pregnancy, you may like to try some gentle activity to keep you moving.

Swimming can be a great form of exercise to keep you active during pregnancy. Mums-to-be often find that swimming helps to ease aches and pains, and it is a fantastic stress-reliever too.

If you are wondering is it safe to swim in early pregnancy, London swimming pools offer a range of classes tailored to the needs of pregnant women. Swimming is generally considered a safe form of exercise for expectant mums, but it is always advisable to check with your doctor or midwife before you start an exercise programme.

Many pregnancy swimming classes follow an aquanatal yoga or aqua aerobics programme. These programmes usually feature movements that are adapted for pregnancy along with some breathing techniques, and a blissful relaxation session at the end of the class.

Attending pregnancy swimming classes in London offers an ideal opportunity to not only keep active, and relax, but to meet some new mum friends too.
