What to expect from a Hatched aquanatal class…

Classes are led by expert Midwife and Health Visitor Emily. Alongside this professional background, Emily has completed training in Aquanatal teaching from the training provider Aquafusion. This course is widely recognised across the UK and Europe and has been endorsed by the Royal College of Midwives. Your class content has been designed by professional experts within the maternity and physiotherapy fields with appropriate consideration given to the changes that take place to the pregnant and postnatal body.

Classes are 35 minutes in duration and always begin with a check-in by Emily to ensure your safety and wellbeing are prioritised within the water.

  • The Pool

    Aqua Include is a fantastic independent pool run by the wonderful Sam and Charlotte. Unlike many other pools, the water is maintained at an optimal temperature which means you will feel comfortable and won’t be left shivering during the class!

    The pool is a perfect, intimate size for aquanatal. We keep our class sizes to 7 people which provides an ideal setting for you to meet and connect with other mumas.

    As just one class runs at a time, you won’t be disturbed by other swimmers, allowing you to fully enjoy the session.

  • The Surroundings

    The pool is located in Castlethorpe which is easily reached for those coming from Northampton, Milton Keynes, Buckingham and the neighbouring areas.

    Nestled in the countryside, the pool boasts wonderful views. Feel yourself unwind the moment you approach the pool as you enjoy the tranquil setting.

  • The Changing Rooms

    The changing rooms at Aqua Include are impeccably clean to ensure you have a comfortable and relaxing experience both in and out of the pool.

To access a class pass, simply choose the single class ticket for your preferred dates, and the discount will be automatically applied when you book four or more sessions.

On booking, you will be prompted to complete a brief screening form about your medical history. This is to ensure it is safe for you to take part in aquanatal classes. If there are any contraindications to taking part or further information is required, Emily will get in touch with you as soon as possible.
