Have you tried searching for your local swimming baths and looking on there website? That's how I found out when mine was

You can search on this website, but please bear in mind that it might not have been updated lately

https://aquanatal.co.uk/ my nearest one is 45mins travel which is kinda putting me off a bit. The are a few of us that are finding it difficult to find a fitness class or swim class for pregnant women, but many councils seem reluctant to do any

The new sports complex on St Ann's round about near the town centre do Aqua-natal on Mondays and Wednesdays they also do ladies only swimming Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursday's and Sundays.

I think Maltby leisure centre does something as well.

That's the time table thing for Rotherham's leisure complex.

Just wanted to add my experience of my aquanatal class. Being a keen swimmer I tried my first aquanatal and felt I could have done with a bit more of a work out(I actually did extra laps when the class was over). However I love being in water and any exercise is good. I noticed when we finished, on my way out the next class was the over 50's and they were doing the exact same exercises lol! So for those who don't have an antenatal swim class or similar, it may be worth considering doing a normal aqua aerobics class if the instructor will allow and just taking it at your own stride. As its in water its unlikely we do any movements that will be risky for baby anyway.
p.s on the plus note having all the bumps around in water gives you a chance to socialise with other expectant mummies
