Prenatal Aquatic Classes in Canberra
Our prenatal aquatic classes in Canberra offer a safe, low-impact way to stay active and comfortable during pregnancy.
These physio-led classes take place in warm water and are designed to support movement, strength, and confidence throughout pregnancy — without the need for a prior physiotherapy consultation for women with uncomplicated pregnancies.
Who Can Join Prenatal Aquatic Classes
Prenatal aquatic classes can be booked without a physiotherapy consultation if you:
are pregnant with an uncomplicated pregnancy

Not Sure If Aquatic Classes Are Right for You?
If you’re unsure whether prenatal aquatic classes are appropriate, a women’s health physiotherapy consultation can help guide you.
I've been doing the Prenatal Aquatic Classes since I was in my early second trimester and it's been such an educational and fun experience for my first pregnancy. The water is divine (particularly in winter!) and is such a relief as you grow. The exercises are really beneficial and great for any fitness level. It's quickly become a highlight of my week during my pregnancy and almost serves as a prenatal mothers group! Millie is so knowledgeable and really cares about you and your journey. Would absolutely recommend to any expecting mums!
