People new to spas sometimes have strange notions about safety and the effects on skin. They are safe to use assuming that correct hygiene procedures are employed and guests do not abuse the rules. Yes, you will end up looking like a prune after prolonged hours in a hot tub, and sun tan oil will leave an oil slick on the surface, which is why guests are requested not to use sun tan oil before wading in.

Relaxing in the warm massaging waters of a hot tub can be most soothing and is even a sociable activity if it is a large hot tub that can accommodate several people. It is easy to see why people would like to bubble away in an outdoor hot tub, sip wine and chat with friends. Most of us have happily climbed into a hot tub or Jacuzzi at the local swimming pool without a thought about hygiene or safety.

The chances are that a hot tub with a cottage holiday is part of a leisure centre or a private one on the verandah, and the climate of Leitrim is not that suitable for spending hours in a swim suit indoors or out. The maximum time spent in a hot tub in any one session is about half an hour. The bubbling and activity is timed from the press of a buttonand then it is a quick sprint into your self-catering cottage unless the weather is very warm.

Most of us know not to expect wall to wall sunshine in Leitrim. it is wise to be prepared for all seasons.
