Aquanatal Classes

AQIMG 2303

Aquanatal classes are now available in Brentwood!

Experience the perfect balance of relaxation, laughter and exercise – a wonderful way to unwind and stay healthy during your pregnancy.

Swimming is one of the safest ways to exercise during pregnancy as the water supports your joints whilst also providing resistance work for all the muscles.

Our teachers must pass antenatal swimming training that is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives Trust, STA Aquacise training and our own extensive Aquanatal training. This means that you’re in the safest possible hands as you work out and relax.

Our Aquanatal class runs on Wednesdays from 6.45-7.30pm, at St. Peter's Primary School in Brentwood. Each class is 45 minutes long. Our classes are suitable from 13 weeks, up to your due date and for 6 months post birth.

Once you've given birth, you are also able to redeem a special offer - exclusive to Aquanatal swimmers - 20% off your first booking of baby swimming lessons with us at Puddle Ducks!
