As the weather gets warmer - with the odd UK heat wave thrown in for good measure - many more of us start to head towards the water to cool off. While the local pool, rivers and the sea can be a great place to stay comfortable when it gets hot there are also lots of health benefits to swimming too. In fact, deciding to start swimming this summer could be one of the best ways to make the most of the weather and the positive potential for your health too.

The benefits of relaxing in a sauna are no secret. There’s nothing more physically energising than taking time out of your day to chill out in a sauna and sweat the stresses of daily life away! Tension dissipates, muscles relax and mentally we emerge refreshed, reenergised and ready to tackle whatever is ahead of us.

Every hot tub owner should adhere to three golden maintenance rules. By understanding and following these rules, you’ll be able to steer clear of having major issues with your spa.

It's critical to know the make and type of your hot tub. It's much easier to get parts and service when you have this information on hand. It's also beneficial to have a copy of your spa's "vital statistics" on hand. These factors include the hot tub's water capacity, age, and any unique water issues (such as hard water) that you may have while maintaining it.
