Other Details to Note

The Swim Spa at Helmsburg Homestead is a wonderful amenity designed for relaxation and enjoyment, but safety and care are essential to ensure it remains a positive part of your stay. By staying vigilant and adhering to these rules, you can enjoy this feature responsibly and make lasting memories at Helmsburg Homestead. Safety is a top priority at Helmsburg Homestead, particularly when it comes to enjoying the Swim Spa.

Children: Always supervise children closely around the Swim Spa. It is not a substitute for a swimming pool, and its warm water and jets require careful attention to ensure their safety. We recommend setting clear rules, such as no running on the deck, NO DIVING, and always having an adult present. While this feature offers a relaxing and fun experience for guests, we urge vigilance when children are near or using the spa.

Pregnant Guests or Those Taking Medications: If you are pregnant, have medical conditions, or are taking medications, consult your doctor before using the Swim Spa. Prolonged exposure to warm water can raise body temperature and may not be suitable for everyone.

Of course, the same practical safety tips apply to the hot tub at the 1891 Schoolhouse Inn.
