We helped pioneer the use of water for labour and birth by designing the water birth pools that made this revolution in maternity care possible.

Over the past 37 years we’ve supplied thousands of water birth pools to maternity units around the world, and helped millions of women have better births.

The combination of evidence based, user-centred, ergonomic design, highly specialised materials and bespoke manufacturing result in water birth pools that are in a class of their own.

We’ve achieved success by continuously innovating, keeping things simple and focusing on our core principles of safety, value and performance.

Our unique understanding and long-term dedication to serving the needs of mothers and midwives makes us uniquely qualified to be of service.

We are the recipient of a Building Better Healthcare Award and a European Design Award and widely acknowledged as the preferred choice of hospitals world-wide.

Active Birth Pools are crafted from Ficore® composite, a proprietary material with unique qualities that makes them more durable, practical, and safer.

Handmade to order by highly skilled craftsmen in England, Active Birth Pools are built to last for decades and guaranteed for life.
