Warm waters, pure bliss

Getting you ready for the journey of birth

Bond with other mums and prepare yourself for a good birth. It's 45 minutes of laughter, chatting, exercise, music and camaraderie. You don't even need to be able to swim.

  • Shorter labour

    An aquanatal workout can help you have a shorter active labour.

  • Keep fit easily

    The water in the pool is a lifesaver for your joints and achy pregancy back. 

  • Women only

    These classes are women only, giving you the space to focus on yourself in the privacy of the pool.

  • Professional teacher

    Run by a qualified midwife who's specially trained to make sure you don't do anything to injure yourself or your baby.

  • Convenient timing

    Classes are after working hours so you can, relax, and focus on you and your precious cargo.



  • Stress relief

    The warm water, fun and exercise means stress melts away.

Feedback

See what others have said about my aquanatal classes.

I would highly recommend the Aquanatal classes. I have been attending from 19 weeks up until due date and have found that not only are the classes very relaxing but also very beneficial in terms of strengthening my muscles which I’m convinced is why I haven’t had any back pain that is so common towards the end of pregnancy.

The classes are also a great way to meet other moms-to-be and socialise. The midwives are fantastic teachers and extremely welcoming and friendly.

I have really enjoyed attending these classes and have already recommended to a friend.

Elsie was so brilliant! She listens, moves to my speed, and is a treasure trove of knowledge. I never felt like I was asking a stupid question, and she cared utmost about the safety of me and my baby.

I’d recommend her to any woman who cares about the birth she wants to have!

That’s no problem, we’d all be ecstatic if you give birth!

If you give birth, one option is to use your remaining classes on our aquafitness classes for mamas who’ve just given birth. These classes are specifically made for women who’ve just given birth to help them restrengthen their body .

If you’d like a refund, simply email us and we would refund you the price of the remaining classes minus a 10% admin fee.

Simple!

Oh yes!

These classes will help you to find ways to overcome the fear and to help you explore how you can do this

If you’re accustomed to exercise, it will be possible to start your classes. However, you might be feeling icky, and many women prefer to wait until the sickness feeling has gone and they’ve entered the second trimester.

Yep! You can attend right up until the time that you go into labour.

Many conditions benefit from exercise in water, however, there are times when the advice of your hospital doctor or midwife is needed. 

Before you book, contact me to discuss your situation.

Yes! The changing rooms are completely private.

The class is tailored to your needs as an individual following your personal risk assessment. So yes, you will definitely be able to do this class.

That’s up to you!

The 2nd Trimester Package covers the 15 weeks of the second trimester. So, it gives you 15 classes.

The 3rd Trimester Package covers the 12 weeks of that trimester, and so gives 12 classes.

If you’re almost finished the second trimester, it might make more sense to simply book the 3rd Trimester Package, and top up on classes using Single Classes when you need them.

However, if you’re still pretty close to the beginning, it may make more sense to purchase the 2nd Trimester Package fully and use out the 15 weeks.

The classes take place in Synergize at Calthorpe Sports & Fitness Centre.

Final details would be given to you upon signing up for your class

No, there isn’t a payment plan BUT, there is another solution.

You can always pay for your classes through the “Single Classes” option.

So for instance, if you know you only want to pay for 3 classes at a time, simply select the “Single Classes” option, and at the checkout choose “3” of that product.

Your basket would update to show that you’re purchasing 3 classes, and you would be able to schedule your spaces in 3 classes immediately.

There’s no need to purchase an entire trimester if you only need a couple of sessions.
