Book Labour Loot Aquanatal® classes

To attend Labour Loot Aquanatal® class, there are three steps:

  1. Book into classes using the link below (classes are limited to a maximum of 12, the booking link will tell you how many places are left).

  2. Download the Medical Clearance Form and ask your midwife, obstetrician or GP to complete/sign it and email it to Labour Loot Aquanatal® (info@labourloot.com.au). This form needs to be completed prior to commencing classes in pregnancy and again prior to commencing classes after birth.

  3. Complete the Registration Form online prior to commencing classes in pregnancy and again prior to commencing classes after birth.

You can do these three steps in ANY order, as long as both forms are received by Labour Loot Aquanatal® prior to attending your first class or you will be unable to participate.

Please note, classes are for women/participants only so everyone can feel relaxed in the privacy and peace of our space. There are no childcare facilities on site or anywhere for someone to sit with your baby/child that would not affect the class, so please seek help from your partner/family/friends to mind your little one(s) when you are ready to leave them for a short period to attend classes.

Class timetable:

Classes are generally on Tuesdays at 12.30pm* and 7pm. Occasionally they may change if Clare is away or the pool is closed, the booking page is always updated with the correct class dates well in advance.

*All 12.30pm classes are currently on hold for Nov & Dec, women are preferring to attend the evening classes for now so these will continue to run (max 12 participants so book early to avoid missing out). If you can only attend at 12.30pm, please let me know and I can look into opening these classes up again.

Location of classes:

The classes are held at NS Swim School, 9B Green Street, Brookvale.

  • As per NSW Health guidelines, if I have experienced diarrhoea within the past two weeks, I will not attend Aquanatal® classes.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE: In pregnancy, you can start classes anytime as long as you are feeling well (ideally after an early dating scan to confirm a viable pregnancy) and continue right up until labour/birth. After birth, you can resume/start classes from 6 weeks after birth (from 8 weeks after birth if you had a caesarean section or complication eg 3rd or 4th degree tear, wound infection).

CANCELLATION POLICY:

  • Cancel over 24hrs before your booked class start time: Cancel your class online (using the link in your booking confirmation email) to receive a class credit (make up class). The make-up class must be attended within 21 days from the booked class date otherwise you will forfeit the payment for that class.

A make-up class will be offered (subject to availability) once/per person when cancelling less than 24hrs before a booked class start time. The make-up class must be attended within 21 days from the missed class date otherwise you will forfeit the payment for that class. If the reason you did not attend the class was because you went into labour/admitted to hospital, the make-up class will be valid until 12 weeks after the date of the missed class so you can attend after birth.

  • Medical condition diagnosed that prevents you from future participation in Labour Loot Aquanatal® classes: Please ask your midwife, obstetrician or GP to complete the Medical Clearance Form and indicate on the form that medically you are no longer able to participate in classes.

More questions?

You will likely find them answered on the FAQs page but if not, please contact Clare on 0410 332 917 or email info@labourloot.com.au. I always strive to respond quickly but I am a shift working Midwife so there are times I am busy caring for mums and bubs at work - or asleep after a night shift - so there might be a short delay in my reply at times.
