Advantages of swimming in pregnancy
As with all sports, we recommend women who, if they are not regular swimmers, start little by little, to train with time and each day have a little more resistance. If you have never practiced this type of sport, it is not a bad idea to start it in pregnancy, but we usually recommend that women practice it under the supervision of a monitor, to correct possible bad postures. There are many benefits of this water sport:- It is of low impact for the joints and especially for the pelvic floor.

Precautions when practicing pregnant swimming - Avoid entering the water by dives, during pregnancy use stairs to go down slowly. Not only because of changes in temperature, but to avoid possible impacts on the belly
