A+ Swim

If you are in the first three months of pregnancy, you can swim at least 30 minutes a day. Also, if you do it in the morning, it will help you avoid nausea and give you energy for the rest of the day.

Below are the main benefits of swimming during the pregnancy months:

Makes you feel lighter despite the weight you can gain in your state
Improves circulation
Increases muscle tone and strengthens it, since swimming uses the muscles of the arms and legs

During these nine months there are many activities that you can practice - as long as they do not imply risk of falls, blows, high temperatures or heights - that is why one of the most recommended is swimming.

The movement of the arms must be opposite: when the right one is propelling the movement, the other must be preparing to start the propulsion, when the first one ends, the second one must begin.

One of the arms should always propel the body and you should avoid leaving the 'dead' arm extended forward.

Control your breathing.

The less you breathe, the faster you will advance but the less you hold on. The swimmer must get used to releasing the air into the water and catching it when it comes out through the mouth and nose, not just through one of the routes.

Try to keep the body in a completely horizontal position, since any part that moves away from that position will slow down progress. Focusing on horizontal swimming also improves swimming technique.
