Welcome to the Active Birth Pools Information Hub
Since 1987 we have been setting the global standard in water birth pool design and manufacturing.
Our water birth pools have supported millions of women through calmer, more natural labours, and are now a trusted feature in leading maternity units around the world.
We’ve achieved this by staying true to our purpose: creating the safest, most comfortable, and most effective water birth pools available—through evidence-based design, midwife-led insight, and a relentless focus on safety, value and performance.
Every birth pool we make is handcrafted to order in England by skilled artisans using advanced manufacturing methods and specialised materials developed specifically for us.
The result?
A custom-made water birth pool that supports women through every stage of labour, is built to last for decades, and comes with a lifetime guarantee.
This Information Hub brings together everything we’ve learned over nearly four decades—expert guidance, practical resources, and deep insights to help you make informed decisions about water birth pool design, installation, use and care.
Whether you’re a midwife, planner or facilities manager we’re here to help you create the ideal water birth facility.
