Prenatal Swimming Lessons
Prenatal Swimming: A Path to Wellness for Expecting Mothers and Babies
Prenatal swimming is a gentle, effective way to stay active during pregnancy while enjoying numerous physical and emotional benefits for both mother and baby. At Happy Fish, our thoughtfully designed program caters to the unique needs of expectant mothers, providing a safe and supportive environment to nurture both body and mind.
If you are having a baby and you can’t swim, we strongly encourage you to come to our prenatal swimming class. Swimming is a very good sport for mummies to ease the pregnancy discomforts. It helps you to have better sleep at night and build your strength for childbirth too. In fact, weightlessness and the extra buoyancy will help you learn to swim much easier.
We are the leading swim school in Singapore that caters swimming lesson for pregnant women. Our indoor heated pool facilities provides a safe and comfortable environment for you to learn swimming. The class size is kept small to optimise your learning experience. Each session is about 45 minutes with 15 minutes free floating time towards the end to relax your body and your mind.
