ESCAPE THE COLD WEATHER
using spa in winterThere are many reasons to use your swim spa frequently in winter, but ensuring you keep warm, de-stress and unwind after a chilly day are at the top of the list. Using it before bed may also improve your sleeping patterns due to relaxation of the body and mind.
Depending on where you live, and how cold it gets, the winter months can feel long, but it’s wonderful to not feel trapped indoors. Utilising your swimming hot tub outdoors where the air is crisp but the water is steamy provides a refreshing yet cosy way to kick back and enjoy an evening.
USE YOUR SWIMMING OUTDOOR SPA FOR LIGHT EXERCISE
In the cooler months, staying on top of your swim exercises routine can be a challenge. Yet dedicating time to activity, health and wellbeing has enormous benefits. If your schedule is busy and you still want to stay fit — a swim spa bath can be useful for more than just R&R.
The types of physical activities you can enjoy in it include:
● Swimming
● Squats or lunges
● Jumping jacks
● Reverse crunches
● Jogging
● Flutter kicks
● Tricep dips
Water buoyancy reduces the weight that joints, bones and muscles have to bear, which can make light swim spa exercise an excellent alternative to land fitness routines.
HOW TO USE A SWIM HOT TUB IN WINTER
how to use spa in winter timeWhen planning to use it in the winter, it’s important to read through the outdoor spa bath’s manual and follow any directions regarding maintenance. It’s easy to follow but keeping these few key tips in mind will keep your experience optimal and safe:
● Keep it covered (improves energy efficiency)
● Keep the heat on (unless you don't plan to use in winter)
● Keep your towel & bathers warm
● Change water early (rather than mid winter)
● Accessorise your winter spa with a rug, towel warmer or outdoor heating lamp
● Limit soaking time by keeping to the guidelines
Important knowledge points:
Cold, dry outdoor air can make your spa water evaporate more quickly than you may be accustomed to during warmer times of the year. If the water level falls below the skimmer level, it won't be able to circulate and do its job to maintain that even water temperature in each nook and cranny of your hot tub.
