Swimming whilst trying to conceive

[Amia]

We've just started trying for a baby and I've been told by my friend that swimming doesn't help. I've googled it and not found any evidence that it can hinder the chances, but does anyone know. Or does anyone have any top tips! Thanks

I have never heard of this but know swimming is a good excercise for during pregnancy.

Take a look at this link, hopefully it may help.

No help to you at all, I know Amia, but just got to say I'm pmsl at the title of your question! Sorry, but it conjures up amusing picture! x

bathsheba you just have a dirty mind lol. as to the post I have never heard this, swimming is a great form of exercise at the beginning, during and definately after pregnancy

On reflection the question title is slightly dubious! Not sure how it'd go down at my local gym. Plus my husband is a rubbish swimmer, he'd definitely sink! Thanks for the answers x

its not your husband you should be worried about be able to swim though :-)

lmao! Trust you Bathsheba! Still, it would be an original story not to mention the looks from the other swimmers! lol
