From Water Birth to Baby Swimming

Turtle Tots Swimming

 

Water Birth

Some how it is a natural progression to follow a fantastic water birth with baby swimming classes. Babies have a natural affinity with the water, a water birth gently brings them into the world and swimming in a warm pool is a comforting reminder of the amniotic world they came from. Most babies love it!

Swimming Babies

Babies become totally liberated, as water is a free environment for them. Natural birthing focuses on our instincts as women - babies have many instincts too. The 'gag reflex' and 'mammalian dive reflex' which enable babies to hold their breath underwater and continue to supply oxygen to the main organs - Most prominent in babies under 6 months old. They also have primitive swimming stroke actions up to 6 months of age and can propel themselves through the water - early swimming classes can help support this natural ability.

Turtle Tots

Vicky Hill runs Turtle Tots Fylde and Preston. She is passionate about swimming and believes babies should be introduced to the water as soon as possible, not only for the safety aspect, but because of the special bond it provides and the fun you can have in the water. Her own experience as a mother to two girls and love of water have driven Vicky to run her own successful Turtle Tots baby swimming lessons across Preston, Fylde and greater Lancashire area.

Aqua-natal Classes

Aqua-natal is a great form of exercise for pregnant women providing fantastic mental and physical relaxation and toning. Vicky is considering running aqua-natal classes subject to demand - providing a complete package for both mums-to-be & their babies. Not only will mums be gaining health benefits & baby bonding, but this is an excellent opportunity to build life long friends - continuing classes together both before and after birth.
