Be very careful with infants and small children as their body temperature is affected by the water temperature faster than an adult's. Healthy children should be limited to ten minutes of use at a time if the water is at or close to full temperature (104 degrees Fahrenheit - 44 degrees Celsius ).

Body temperature must be maintained within a narrow range. When it gets too hot, all kinds of metabolic problems occur, which can often result in death. Adults can handle a short visit to the hot tub at 100 to 104 degrees F, because their bodies are capable of regulating internal temperature for a short time. But infants and small children cannot. It is generally recommended not to allow hot tub use at all for babies, and to be extremely cautious with children between 3 and 12. Strictly limit the amount of time they are in the hot tub to 10 minutes, with a resting period of over 1 hour. Even adults and children over 12 should limit the time that they stay in a hot tub. It may seem relaxing and comfortable, but it could be dangerous when you least suspect it.
