Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre is pleased to announce a fantastic opportunity for all expectant mothers in South Gloucestershire. Thanks to a joint partnership scheme between Circadian Trust and South Gloucestershire Council, pregnant women living in the area can now enjoy free swimming sessions at our Fitness club.
Swimming is known to be an excellent way to stay active during pregnancy, and it can be done safely throughout all three trimesters. The water provides a refreshing and cooling environment, while also supporting up to 90% of your body weight. This not only helps to keep you comfortable but also reduces the strain on your joints.
By maintaining a healthy weight and staying active during pregnancy, you can experience a range of health benefits for both you and your baby. These include an improved health-related quality of life and a lower risk of health-related complications. We understand the importance of taking care of yourself during this special time, and we want to support you every step of the way.
To access this wonderful scheme, all you need to do is visit your local Active Lifestyle Centre and present your Maternity Notebook or Maternity Exemption Certificate, along with proof of your address. Please note that eligibility for free swimming ends three weeks after your due date. However, even if you are registered with a South Gloucestershire GP surgery but live just outside the county, you are still considered eligible.
You are welcome to swim during any of our public sessions, and we have a wide range of pool timetables available for your convenience. If you're unsure about which Centre is closest to you, please don't hesitate to visit our website or get in touch with our friendly staff at Active Lifestyle Centres.
Swimming during pregnancy is not only safe but also highly beneficial for your overall well-being. We encourage you to take advantage of this amazing opportunity to stay active and healthy throughout your pregnancy. So grab your swimsuit, dive in, and enjoy the wonderful world of swimming at Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre. We look forward to seeing you soon!
