Kids and Spas

If you have children you know how much they love the water.  As an adult, I can vividly remember family time as a child including water often.  Being older than (dirt, as well as) most of the spa industry, my memories are of vacations and outings.    The seashore or east coast campgrounds with lakes, streams and creeks.  Water always being there to enjoy and play in. 

My kids grew up in Colorado with a spa in their back yard.  When they were small, it was constant!  "Can we take a hot tub?"  They'd spend hours playing, under a watchful eye, in the tub.  We introduced them to our spa as babies.  It was tender and bonding, while giving them confidence and experience with water.  They learned to swim quicker because of their early experiences with the spa.  There was no need to teach them not to be afraid to put their face in the water, they'd learned that years before diving to the very bottom to retrieve their latest favorite toy. 



As parents, we enjoyed our time with and without the kids in the spa.  Family time is important, but so is alone time.  Simply relaxing with the quiet, night sky.  Kids can be stressful.  A spa in your backyard can take care of the whole family, the kids, or sometimes, take care of just you.
