Hot Tub Hydrotherapy: Top 3 Benefits of Daily Water Immersion

By: By Kevin Mecum (Senior Digital Marketing Specialist, Watkins Wellness/Caldera Spas) Right after we got married, my wife suggested we buy a hot tub.

Naturally, you need a great space, good foundations and a solid build, but there’s plenty more to consider when making a great pool that your kids can enjoy. Get the Height Right You want a pool that your kids can stand in, so we recommend that you build it with them in mind. An extensive shallow end ensures they can put their feet on the bottom and gradually gain the confidence to head toward the deep end. Even better, when they play, if the pool has a deeper end, the adults can join in and not have too much extra reach.
