Just because the weather is getting warmer, doesn’t mean you have to skip out on the benefits of hydrotherapy! Hydrotherapy is just as beneficial and enjoyable during spring and summer, especially when tailored to the season.
With just a few adjustments, your hot tub or swim spa can become the perfect retreat for relaxation, recovery, and wellness, even in warmer temperatures.
Hydrotherapy should be a year-round experience. Here is how you can make the most of your spa during the warmer months while staying cool, comfortable, and refreshed:
How to Stay Cool While Enjoying Your Hot Tub in Warm Weather
To fully enjoy hydrotherapy in spring and summer, consider adjusting your spa routine to keep cool and comfortable.
Lower the Water Temperature
Instead of setting your hot tub to the usual 100-104°F, drop it down to a refreshing 85-95°F. This turns your spa into a cool plunge pool, perfect for a relaxing soak without overheating.
Use Your Spa in the Morning or Evening
The best times to enjoy your hot tub in warmer months are early in the morning or after sunset. These times provide cooler air temperatures and make for a more refreshing and enjoyable soak.
Take Advantage of Hydrotherapy Features
Many South East Spas models offer customizable jet settings, allowing you to experience a light, cooling massage rather than deep tissue pressure. Use StressRelief Neck and Shoulder Seats™ to target tension areas while keeping the experience gentle and relaxing.
Keep Hydrated
Soaking in warm water can still lead to dehydration, especially in the heat. Keep a cold bottle of water nearby to stay hydrated. You can also enjoy a light, spa-friendly beverage like cucumber-infused water or herbal iced tea.
Add Shade to Your Spa Area
If your spa is in direct sunlight, consider adding a pergola, umbrella, or shade sail to block out excessive heat. This keeps your spa area comfortable while also protecting your spa’s shell and cover from sun damage.
Why Hydrotherapy is a Great Summer Wellness Tool
Unlike traditional pools, a hot tub or swim spa is designed for wellness, offering customized hydrotherapy options to fit your needs in every season.
- Recover faster after summer activities like biking, running, and playing sports
- Ease muscle soreness after gardening, yard work, or outdoor home projects
- Reduce stress from busy schedules, travel, or daily responsibilities
- Improve circulation and relieve tension without overheating
You can enjoy year-round hydrotherapy by making a few adjustments, and keeping your hot tub or swim spa an essential part of your wellness routine, even in Florida’s warmer months!
