Can children go in thermal/hot spring water?
⚡ Short answer: Thermal pools aren't recommended for under 6 months; for older babies, max 3-5 minutes in water under 35°C, up to waist only, no head — rinse with fresh water after.

We're staying at a resort with a thermal pool. Can baby use it, and what's the temperature limit?

Thermal waters are usually not recommended for babies. Here's why: Babies can't regulate body temperature well yet. Thermal pools are usually 35-40°C, and water over 39°C can cause rapid heat rise, blood pressure drop, and fainting in babies. Plus the minerals and chemicals (chlorine if added) can irritate tender baby skin.
Under 6 months: best to skip thermal pools. Over 6 months: only 3-5 minutes in water under 35°C, waist-deep or less, no head submersion. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water afterward.
Look for a regular, warm (32-34°C) baby pool at the resort — safer choice. Keep baby well-hydrated, protect from sun, and watch closely. Enjoy your vacation!
