Active II Water Birth Pool
The pinnacle of water birth pool development.
The Active II Birth Pool builds on the renowned design of its predecessor, enhancing safety and functionality with a unique ‘keyhole’ shaped channel integrated into the back rim. This innovative feature, successfully trialed on the Princess Pool, provides additional support and stability while maintaining a high level of usability.
The pool’s broad wrap-around rim offers exceptional comfort for mothers, supporting natural labor positions, while its generous interior allows for 360-degree movement and flexibility.
Designed with longevity in mind, the Active II boasts a life expectancy of over 25 years and is backed by an exclusive lifetime warranty. The contoured extra-wide rims enhance comfort for both mothers and midwives, ensuring optimal support during labor.
The pool’s spacious design maximizes freedom of movement for mothers and accessibility for midwives, providing a practical, safe, and comfortable birthing experience.
