In addition, training in water provides important benefits. Among them, training with a lower impact and achieving great relief from muscle pain, especially in advanced pregnancies. Also greater lung resistance and better blood circulation. That is why it is important to start swimming and practice it frequently, whether you are pregnant or not.

Swimming is one of the most complete and healthy exercises you can do during this vital stage.

What to keep in mind before practicing swimming for pregnant women

Questions such as up to what week you can swim while pregnant or what exercises are appropriate in each trimester of pregnancy are logical doubts. In principle, unless your doctor tells you otherwise, you can follow the swimming exercise tables for pregnant women until the last trimester. In each of the exercises to do in the pool that we show you in this article, you will see that it is indicated in which trimester it is advisable to practice it. Also, keep these important questions in mind:

• Warm up and stretch before doing the pregnancy swimming routine. As in any other type of training it is essential. Then walk in the water before starting the exercises. When you finish the routine, stretch.

• Dry yourself very well when you finish training. Take off your swimsuit. Don’t linger in the locker room talking in your wet swimsuit. The reason? Humidity and heat favor urinary infections.
• Do not exceed 38ºC body temperature or 140 beats per minute. It is also important to avoid excessive sweating.

• Do not do exercises on an empty stomach but allow the time necessary to digest before getting into the water.

• In the last trimester, do not do prolonged and strong exercise in a face-up position.
• The use of fixed flotation material on the legs and feet is totally inadvisable after the first trimester of pregnancy.
• Drink water after exercise and, if you feel like it, also during it. You will avoid getting dehydrated, although when it comes to training in water it sounds paradoxical.
