8. Never use the swim spa while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
9. Consult your doctor about potential
harmful effects of using drugs or
medications while swimming, jogging,
and exercising or hot water soaking in
your swim spa.
10. Never use the swim spa when you are
alone. A responsible adult should check
on you as you exercise. The first rule of
Aquatic Exercise is Safety. Always be
sure that any swim spa user is under the
supervision of a responsible adult who is
capable of rescuing the swim spa user in
case of an emergency.
11. Never allow children or elderly adults to
use the swim spa unsupervised.
12. Never allow anyone to jump or dive
into the swim spa. The water depth will
not accommodate jumping or diving, and
serious injury or possible death can result
from these dangerous actions.
13. Consult your physician before beginning
any new exercise regiment, including
swimming, aqua-jogging, aquatic exercise
and aquatic stretching.
14. When using the optional aquatic
resistance exercise equipment, take care to
always wear shatterproof goggles to
protect your eyes in case you connect the
attachment device incorrectly or should a
band slip or break.
15. Never leave exercise equipment or other
objects in swim spa when finished. They
may create a trip or injury hazard if they
are unseen below the surface of the water.
16. Closely monitor your physical condition
when exercising in the swim spa. A general
rule is that you should be able to talk
normally while exercising. If you find
it difficult to speak or think clearly during
exrecise, you should exit the swim spa
until you are back to normal heart rate
and can breathe freely.
17. Display all safety signs and rules located in
the Owner Package for swim spa. Make
sure that all users and guests understand
the rules and know how to use the swim
spa before allowing them to use it.
18. Swimming against the jets is similar to
using a treadmill. You will want to pace
your swim strokes and kicks to maintain
your place in the water for an optimal
workout. If you like to sprint during your
workout, you can use the optional swim
tether to give you maximum resistance
when sprinting.
19. Always wear waterproof shoes when
Aqua-Jogging for the best slip resistance
and to protect your feet.
20. The bottom of the swim spa has contours
built in for added structural integrity. Make
yourself aware of those contours so that
you know where they are as you exercise.
21. Always use swim-goggles when using
your swim spa. Swim-goggles make it
easier to see the bottom of the swim spa
when swimming so that you can fix your
position in the swim-lane. Swim-goggles
also protect your eyes from continous
splashing during exercise. Whenever
using resistance bands or swim tether, we
recommend that you use shatter-proof
swim-goggles.
