Aqua Natal Sessions

Aqua natal is a water based session especially designed for pre and post natal women, which are run in Wrexham by an exercise teacher who has undergone a specific course on teaching pregnant women, a midwife may also be in attendance at some sessions.

There are many advantages to aqua natal:

It is a safe form of exercise during and after pregnancy and can help you feel good about yourself
It gives you the opportunity to meet new people
It can help you to have a shorter active labour and can lower the chance of having an assisted (ventouse or forceps) or operative (caesarean) delivery
It can alleviate antenatal and postnatal depression
Its fun relaxing and frees you from the weight of your pregnancy!
You do not need to be able to swim to take part, all sessions take place in standing depth water and are over seen by a qualified lifeguard as well as the instructor

These new sessions are taking place at Waterworld (places are limited). Should you require more information please contact either the Leisure and Activity Centre (contact details below) or the Swimming and Aquatic Development Officer 01978 297353.
