S.R. asks from Venice, CA

I would like to know if there is any interest in a Pre-natal water fitness class on the Westside (Venice) this class is targeted for moms to be who want to get a safe and awesome work out in the water while pregnant.This class will also prepare your mind, body and soul for birth. I incorporate Yoga, Aerobics, Ballet, and Weight Training all in a 1-hour class. I would also be teaching children's swimming classes 3 months and up!! I ask this question because i'm considering investing in a saline workout pool for this purpose. As a mother of two I was frustrated with the lack of water fitness classes for pregnancy and at a reasonible cost that everyone could afford!

What can I do next?

This is something I'd be very interested. I am not pregnant, but have an almost 3 year old daughter who I would love to bring. I'd like to swim laps myself. Let us know when it is up and running.

Thanks.

I would have loved to attend your classes when I was pregnant. My son is 6 months old now and I spent a big part of my pregnanct looking for classes that I could take after work or on the weekends. Many of the classes that I encountered were Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings and afternoons.

It would be great for my next baby since it will be more of a goal to keep my weight down (I gained 60 pounds during my pregnanct) and help to take it off (although I am breastfeeding exclusively).

Hi S.,
this sounds awesom to me. I am not pregnant at the moment - I wish it's gone happen again before I become too old - but my 9 1/2 month old son would love to get some real water experience. We also live in Venice. Perfect! Please go ahead, we'll be with you.
Thanks

This sounds great - I looked into this when I was pregnant but came up empty. I'm not pregnant currently but would love the option with the next one!

I live on the eastside but would be happy drive to the westside for swimming classes with my three month old. I also know of a few other moms that may be interested as well.

This is a great idea! When I was pregnant, I also looked for a water exercise class and found nothing. I still swam a lot, but it would've been nice to take a class. I would also be interested in baby swim lessons. My 7 month old is starting a class next week as Santa Monica College and we hope to continue them through the years. Please keep up posted once you get started :)

Yes, yes, yes! There is much need for a salinated pool on the Westside. I would love to attend your classes.

Hi S.!
When I was pregnant, I was looking for a prenatal aqua-fitness class but could never find one on the Westside (they all seem to be in NYC)! Good luck!
