In what order should i go?

Question

I started swimming a couple weeks ago and of course almost

every pool has a hot tub, steam room and a pool. I was wondering if i should go into the pool first and then the hot tub.

In what order should i go??

Answer 1

uhh.. lets see, its not good to go immediately from one temperature to another, especially from hot to cold, maby you should just wait a couple of minutes before switching.

but  pool to hot tub, is not as bad as hot tub to pool.

Answer 2

If you must switch between temperatures, don't switch too fast. Here's some things just to keep in mind

After a swim workout - you don't realize how dehydrated you are because you can't really see the sweat. Going into a hot tub being dehydrated can be very bad, especially for training.

If you feel you must, then in between pool and hot tub, or vica versa, you should take a luke warm shower. It'll help your body adjust. Also, have a water bottle at the pool side to drink while you work out. This is especially so if you plan on going to the hot tub.

Answer 3

i would swim first and then use the hot tub just ask a coach or lifeguard they will know best
