HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 1998-05-06, Page 15(NC)—Swimming pools were designed for good times, but they require good
sense and good safety to keep the times good. Establish sensible safety rules at
the beginning, and enforce them diligently.
Here are safety tips for around your pool.
• Constantly supervise children;
• Decks should be kept clean and clear of debris;
• Decks should have a non-slip surface;
• All cups, glasses and dishes should be non-breakable;
• Never swim alone;
• Use caution with inflatable toys and mattresses—they deflate;
• Absolutely no horseplay or roughhousing in or around the pool;
• Go down a slide feet-first only;
• Only one person on the diving board at a time;
• Don't allow swimming under the diving board while in use;
• Stay out of the water during rain storms.

Spas good for the mind and body
(NC) — Each year, more people
are warming up to spas — also
referred to as hot tubs. And the
reasons are crystal clear: spas don't
take up a lot of space, yet they are
brimming with benefits. And
buying one won't make a huge dent
in your wallet.
According to the National Spa &
Pool Institute (NSPI), the leading
trade association for the spa and
pool industry, more than 3.3
million North American families
currently own a spa. And
manufacturers are reporting sales
increases each year. Reasons for
this range from increased
awareness of the health benefits
derived from spas, strong
recreational appeal, new
technology and a wide range of
products.
What's more, today, it seems, the
number of options and features
available means there's a spa to fit
anyone's lifestyle and budget. Spas
now come in a wide variety of
colours and sizes with specially
designed jets, seating and control
panels to give you maximum
enjoyment.
Certainly, new technology and a
variety of options make spas
attractive, but the bottom line is
that people buy spas for what spas
can do for them. "We probably
have more people buy spas for
relaxation than ever before."
"Relaxation and therapy seem to be
more of a buying reason these days
than family fun, which has
historically been fairly strong."
Spas, you see, do the double duty
of helping to keep you mentally as
well as physically fit. In addition to
soothing the tensions of day-to-day
life, a spa will lend itself to a
variety of stretches and exercises
that will help you get and stay fit.
The buoyancy of the water reduces
gravitational stress on the body and
thus encourages free movement. At
the same time, the water offers
gentle, constant resistance to help
build muscle strength.
In addition to releasing stress and
building fitness, a spa can also
relax tired and aching muscles;
ease arthritic and other types of
chronic pain; and improve sleep.
Any one of these reasons is good
enough to run right out and buy
one!
