Are hot tubs bad for children?

Q. My 12 year old son went to his friends house, fhey went to the pool and I found out they were sitting in the hottub for almost the whole time (3-4 hours)

My son is home now, his skin looks different. It looks very dried out as if there is no moisturize left in his skin. He also says its itchy sometimes.

What should I be doing?


Answer
Wow, I have been reading a bunch of these questions in this catogory for the past 30 minutes just because I am board. I have come to the conclusion that the majority of parents who post questions on here, worry WAY to MUCH. Like seriously, didn't you ever get "Prune fingers" when you got a bath as a kid? I know on many occasions I swam ALL DAY at the local pool in the summer. Seriously stop worrying. I would also like to add that if your "Avatar" picture is you, then you are smokin' hot! I dare even say you are a "MILF" rofl.

How old would your child have to be before you let them use a hot tub?

We have a friendly debate going at my house right now. I say because of the chemicals, heat and danger 7 or 8 my husband says 3 or 4.
Riiiiiight, well I don't plan on starting to feed my son chlorine any time soon. I'll stick with the vegan diet and pesticide free produce. Thanks.



Answer
I am surprised at the answers that say 12 years old! lol. I was a lifeguard and after lessons we took kindergarten kids in for 5-10 minutes at the end of lesson on fun day.

I took my baby in when he was a month old. You have to use your common sense and make sure that the temperature is sensible (some are very hot), and to watch the baby's color and body temperature, and look for signs of mild discomfort. This is common sense for yourself too in a hot tub. As long as it is a comfortable temperature and the baby likes, I don't see the harm. My babies LOVED the hot tub, and my last baby did not like cooler water at all.

Q. I've got a swimming pool near my place, with a hot tub, they allowed anyone who is older than 16 in the hot tub. One day I saw alot of special needs children, mostly with down syndrome and cerebral palsy. They were all under 16. The lifeguard said they have medical approval from their doctor. How come they are allowed in the hot tub?


Answer
It probably because the hot-tub does not have chlorine in the water.

The swimming pool has chlorine and likely to kills the bacteria that our bowel or bladder makes if we have an accident.

I think its something to do with no chlorine in the hot tub. When the pool has it.

Is there a danger or risk involved in swimming in a swimming pool then warming up in a hot tub?




Marina


If the swimming pool is about 72 degrees F and maybe lower, and the Hot tub is about 102.5 to 103 degrees. If there is a risk or danger, is the risk greater for children under the age of 5? What about men and women? If you have a good answer for me, where can I verify this information?


Answer
There is no danger. 102-103 is rather cool for a hot tub.

Can a hot tub suck the insides out of a child?




Mr. LOL


I read an article about a child who had her insides literally sucked out by negative pressure of a hot tub.

She was sitting on one of the hole and it sucked her intestines out!

Is that possible?



Answer
for your information this can happen.this was on the tv show 20/20 several years ago.but the pool did NOT have a bottom drain cover.on a hot tub they do not have bottom drains so they are safe
