Can anyone recommend a good aqua exercise class for pregnant women in Manhattan?

I've been on the waitlist for the Aquamom classes for 7.5 weeks and it doesn't look like I'll get off the waitlist before I give birth. Smile They're really disorganized and it typically takes about a week to get a response to my emails. I posted about classes at Asphalt Green but no one has responded so I guess no one has taken them... Wondering if there are any other classes out there that people can recommend?  TIA!

    I did the same research about a month ago.  I'm surprised you've waited that long for aqua mom, they won't let you jump in on a class?  They do  seem to be the best option in terms of prenatal aquatics.  Asphalt Green does have classes, but not sure how they are.  Those are probably the only two options.  I checked with some Y's and none seemed to have them.    Let me konw if you find out anything!

    Thanks.  Asphalt Green was the only other one I found too and I was ready to go if Aquamom didn't come through but I fiiiinallly got off the waitlist today.  I've heard good things about AM but they are so disorganized that I don't know how they could possibly handle running a class.  It would typically take a week just to get a response to an email and when I finally heard from them (the first time) about availability they offered me spots in the downtown class even tho I specifically told them that I was only interested in midtown.  I suspect that they gave away my spot in the midtown class at least once, that's why there was such a long wait.  I'm only giving them a shot b/c a close friend of mine recommended them very highly to me and b/c Asphalt Green is pretty inconvenient for me and I don't know anyone else who's taken their classes.  I start AM on Aug. 9 and I'll let you know how it is.

    i did aquamom and loved it.  they are so disorganized, though, that i suspect that if i would have just kept going after my 8 weeks was up no one would have noticed.  i actually had a hard time remembering which week i was on.

    I did aqua mom, but didn't finish because of exercise restriction.  Technically, I'm allowed to give them to someone else.  Let me know if you're interested in trying it.  I LOVED it and was sorry I had to give it up.
