Q: I'm 14 weeks pregnant and would like to start swimming
I find doing lengths in the pool a bit boring - can you suggest any exercises that can make swimming a bit more interesting?

A: Water is a great environment to work out in,as it supports your bump and adds resistance,so your muscles work harder.

1.Jog in the water. Bring your knees up and push your arms forward and back.Keep jogging on the spot for 3 to 4 minutes to tone arms and legs.

2.Try bicycle kicks. Hold on to the side of the pool with your back against the wall.Start kicking your legs in front of you as if you're riding a bicycle.Continue for 3 to 4 minutes.

3.Tone those arms! Stand with feet apart,knees bent.Now lift your arms to the height of your shoulders,and back down.Pull your arms down towards you,breathing out as you do so,and push up again hard.
