WHILE parents across Mid Cheshire are making promises to take up new fitness regimes in 2008, one mum is urging others to keep their babies healthy by taking them swimming.

Anna Woodhart, who runs the Water Babies classes at Weaverham pool and Moss Farm leisure centre, said: “Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise you can do and is as perfect for chilly winter days as it is for hot summer ones,.

“Just half an hour of swimming will provide your baby or toddler with a complete work- out.

“It’s also great for enhancing their confidence and awareness, as well as helping to improve eating and sleeping patterns. And they’ll love that special one- to-one time with you.”

The classes take place at Weaverham pool on Russett Road, and Moss Farm on Tuesdays from January 8 to March 18. For more information, log on to www.waterbabies.co.uk or call Anna on 07739313210.
