 It is important to abide by health and safety guidelines every time you visit a sauna. Sauna is over 16s, anyone under this age must be accompanied by an adult. Never wear any creams or lotions. Bring a clean, cotton towel to sit on. This will help keep you clean and comfortable, as well as protect the benches from body oils. Do not eat, drink alcohol or take drugs before you take a sauna as you could become nauseated, dizzy and may become unconscious. The benches and oors may be slippery, use caution when moving around the sauna. Never throw water on the stones when there are people near the stove, because hot steam may burn their skin. To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of water before and after the sauna. Do not stay in a sauna for longer than 15 to 20 minutes. Taking a break, 10 minutes is advised (or go for a swim) before reentering is advised. Leave the sauna immediately if you start to feel dizzy, nauseous, or lightheaded, and let a member of staff know you are not feeling well. Do not use the sauna if you have an open wound. Pregnant women should consult with their doctor before using the sauna Do not leave disabled people without supervision in the sauna.

If you have any reservations in this regard, it is essential that you consult your GP before booking in. Some reasons such as that you are pregnant, have low blood pressure, skin conditions or vasovagal syndrome for which exposure to hot water in the baths could induce. This list is in no way intended to be exhaustive. Again and due to our own workload operating the baths, it would be an impossible task for us to medically screen every person using the baths so it is therefore all persons responsibility to ensure they can safely use the baths Before entering the baths, all users must rst check the temperature of the water before getting in to ensure the temperature is personally suitable. If a hand railing is required, please inform a member of staff. Otherwise the standard means of entry and exit is to always hold onto the top of the bath with two hands anytime the steps are used as the steps may be slippery. We can also put a ladder in the bath if necessary and assistance is always available if required.
