The Aquakiddies/BabiesPABA aqua aerobics course has been piloted over six months with several groups of mothers nationally, with all groups showing very positive results. Babies have become water confident and are learning the foundations of swimming, while Parents are taken through a carefully structured water aerobics exercise program.

Why PABA was created.

Program creator Julie –ann James says “The concept of parents working out with their babies was born out of spending thousands of hours swimming with parents, listening to their concerns, observing them move in the water and recognizing that they were already exercising. 

Mothers expressed a universal desire to regain their figures and keep fit, but many could not or did not want to leave their babies.  As a result this aqua aerobics program was created, enabling mothers to engage in a mutually beneficial exercise program with their babies”.

Benefits of Aqua Aerobics for Parents

Physical - Aqua Aerobics is an excellent method of exercise that improves the fitness of the heart and lungs, tones the body and reduces fat. It is an ideal form of postpartum exercise as it is kinder to joints and the water supports some of the extra pregnancy weight.

Social - Working out with other likeminded people is a good motivational factor. Bodyweight issues are important to postnatal women and exercising in a homogenous group helps to reduce self-consciousness. This program also offers a social outlet for parents to meet other parents with young children, commonly cited as a valuable experience for new parents.

Benefits of Baby Exercise and Water Aerobics for Babies

Water is a great equalizer for babies and they can achieve some level of independence before they can crawl. The water provides support and they love the fun and freedom of the whole experience. More importantly, the classes will:

•               Provide water safety training

•               Build water confidence

•               Teach basic breathing exercises (for baby health)

•               Provide some of the basic foundations of swimming and exercise for kids

•               Encourage physical, social and psychological development

•               Enhance their awareness

•               Improve a baby’s eating and sleeping patterns

•               Promote co-ordination and child health.

The multi-sensory environment of the swimming pool opens up whole new experiences for babies. The baby exercise classes are a good opportunity for mother/baby bonding as they involve plenty of physical and eye contact. Babies will also enjoy the interaction with other babies offered in a group situation of baby exercise classes. All this provides the foundation for baby health and an active childhood, which is wholly beneficial for all children’s health.

Barack Obama, a 47-year-old first-term senator from Illinois, shattered more than 200 years of history Tuesday night by winning election as the first African-American president of the United States.

A crowd of nearly a quarter-million jammed Grant Park and the surrounding area in Chicago, where Obama addressed the nation for the first time as its president-elect at midnight ET. Hundreds of thousands more — Mayor Richard Daley said he would not be surprised if a million Chicagoans jammed the streets — watched on a large television screen outside the park.

“If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,” Obama declared.
