Overview
During pregnancy, the weightless feeling of being submerged in water provides welcome relief to the pressure from your increasing body weight. This is not the only benefit of participating in aqua fitness when you are pregnant. With your doctor's permission and with a few safety techniques, you can continue to enjoy water fitness throughout each trimester of your pregnancy.
