Pregnant women can now swim for free at a local swimming pool

    1Life has announced a brand-new initiative to encourage more pregnant women to get active for free in its leisure centres.

    From today, pregnant women will be able to swim for free at Woughton Leisure Centre in a bid to promote healthy, active lifestyles amongst expectant mums.

    Mark Braithwaite, Managing Director at 1Life, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer this initiative to local expectant mothers.  We are keen to encourage active, healthy lifestyles and the benefits of exercising during pregnancy are vast, to both mother and baby. We look forward to welcoming mums to be into our pools.”

    Women are encouraged to exercise regularly throughout pregnancy unless they have been advised otherwise by their GP or midwife. Keeping active not only maintains your fitness levels but also helps your body to adapt to the changes that come with being pregnant.  

    To register or for further information, simply visit your local 1Life pool and show your NHS maternity exemption card to activate your membership.  Membership will run until the due date specified on the maternity exception card.
