      • We advise against the use of the sauna, steam room, and spa pool for children under the age of 16. However, if a guardian chooses to permit a child under their care to use these facilities, please be informed that it is the guardian’s sole responsibility to supervise and ensure their safety at all times. We strongly recommend adhering to the guidance provided by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) to maintain the child’s well-being during their usage of these facilities. As a guardian, your decision to allow a child under the age of 16 to use these facilities constitutes acceptance of full responsibility for their safety, health, and supervision: 
      • Children: The body temperature of young children will rise much quicker than that of older children or adults owing to their underdeveloped thermo-regulatory mechanisms. Children should always be supervised closely by a responsible adult, the amount of time spent in the spa pool, sauna, or steam room should be limited, and they must replace lost fluids frequently. Adults must be aware of the dangers of heat stress in children and ensure from early indications of stress that they are not put at risk.
