Hydro Pool

I am 6 weeks pregnant and work in a special needs school. Every week as part of their curriculum we take the students swimming in the hydro pool where the temperature is 35 degrees. I have read varying views about using hydropools whilst pregnant and I am not sure what to do. Some reports say pools are safe as long as they're not over 34 degrees but then I've read that pregnant women have used them to take their children swimming!
Anyway, I've got two more lessons before the Christmas holidays and I don't want to tell anyone so early on and while I'm happy to use the pool I want to make I'm not taking any risks.
I am writing to see if anyone has been in my position and what did you do? Thanks
