Spa and Hot Tub Safety Guidelines
Keep your spa or hot tub fun and safe! Below are guidelines to help ensure a safe and worry-free season for everyone.
- Stay Hydrated. Hydration is key. Hot tubs cause us to sweat, so our bodies lose water. All bathers, especially children, should drink fresh water while soaking.
- Not for Infants or Toddlers. Infants and toddlers should not be permitted in a hot tub at all. Their thinner skin makes them more susceptible to rapid overheating.
- Supervise Children. Children should always be supervised by at least one responsible adult. Keep a locked cover on your spa or hot tub when it is not in use to prevent children from climbing in unnoticed.
- Consult Your Doctor. Pregnant women and persons with heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or any other serious illness should not enter a spa without first consulting with a physician.
- Set a Timer. 15 minutes is generally considered a safe soaking time for healthy adults.
