BUMPS AND BEYOND AT IVYBRIDGE

Tone Leisure’s Ivybridge Leisure Centre runs Aqua Natal classes suitable for expectant Mums

from 12 weeks plus, and Mums that are, from 6 weeks post natal with qualified retired midwife, Liz Rider.

The classes have proved very popular and comments from participants have been extremely supportive:

“It is great. More people should know about it – great to have fun and very sociable too. Nice to float a bit!”

With that in mind, Liz Rider has been leafleting local GP surgeries and Health Visitors to get the message out there:

“ Aquabumps at Ivybridge is ideal for expectant and new mothers because it allows good exercise without stressing the body. The feeling of support and ‘weightlessness’ when a pregnant woman gets into the pool is instantly beneficial. And you don’t have to be able to swim either!”

Classes are held on Thursdays at Ivybridge Leisure Centre between 10.30 and 11.30, but they are not held every week. A crèche is available if Mums have other tots to bring along. For more information contact reception on 01752 896999
