No special skills are required and it is not essential to know how to swim because all the exercises can be performed in safe water levels, or using special floating tubes. There is also a theoretical and practical course of childbirth preparation held in water by Dr. Colantonio Arianna (Obstetrics). The course includes a series of exercises aimed at increasing physical endurance and body awareness.

Giovanni, Foligno, Gualdo Tadino, Gubbio, Umbertide and S.Giustino.
