Hi
Our special school hydrotherapy pool is running a temperature of 96 degrees during this hot weather, the pupils and staff (physio's and ta's ) are emerging looking slightly red (part boiled possibly!)
The humidty around the pool area is unbearable, causing excessive sweating in many staff , as we dress ,dry and move pupils around.
Surely, this has got to be unacceptable!
Are there any guidelines concerning temperature and humidty in and around a hydro-pool?
I'm there again tomorrow ! And the forcast looks even hotter. :(

the Chartered society of physiotherapists (CSP) have done a lot of work on h&s in hydrotherapy pools.

I'm not sure whether the info is on their website but you should get a pointer/contact at www.csp.org.uk

good luck

You haven't mentioned if this is degrees C or degrees F. If C, then yes, you are par-boiling them, mmm, just like a boiled ham, mmm.
