Pregnancy Pathway
We have a range of activities at each of our three sports centres specifically designed for people who are welcoming a new baby to their family.
Our pre-natal and post-natal sessions are all run by qualified instructors and provide a friendly and supportive atmosphere in which to enjoy light to moderate physical activity.
To join our Pregnancy Pathway you must be referred by your doctor, midwife or health visitor.
Our Pregnancy Pathway membership is £19 per month (Direct Debit) and gives you access to all our activity sessions, as well as unlimited access during public sessions to our swimming pools and gyms. Alternatively you can pay £2.05 per session as a pay-as-you-go customer.

Did you know we also provide baby swimming lessons?
Our swim school starts for children aged 4 months and are available at all three of our sports centres.
Between the ages of 4 months to 3 years, you will be in the pool with your baby, working to build their water confidence and get them moving. From 3 – 4 years a teacher will be in the pool with your child to further develop their skills and technique.
The cost for swimming lessons is:
£59 for a 10-week block of Octopus swimming lessons (for 4 months to 4 years).
