Mums-to-be can keep active and increase comfort in pregnancy with new aqua natal classes.
Aqua natal is a fun and safe way to keep active during pregnancy, involving low-intensity exercises performed in a swimming pool.
With new classes and a free day leisure pass available to new customers, there has never been a better time to get in the pool.
Kate Blocki, fitness instructor said: “Aqua natal has lots of benefits. The buoyancy of the water offers support whilst you exercise and helps to improve core stability, balance and coordination, as well as helping to reduce back pain.
“It also gives mums some much needed time to engage with their body and their baby, and to meet other ladies who are also pregnant.
“Our friendly instructors offer guidance throughout the session, making it accessible for all levels and abilities.”
Aqua natal is available at:
• Chester-le-Street Leisure Centre, Wednesday, 1.30pm to 2.30pm.
• Spennymoor Leisure Centre, Thursday 11.15am to 12 noon.
• Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre, a new session on Saturday, 3.05pm to 3.50pm.
Free one day passes are available to new customers and can be claimed by contacting the leisure centre.
Normal classes start from £3.60 for concessions and £4.50 for thrive card holders. Aqua natal classes are also included as part of the swim membership from as little as £22.50 per month.
