What's the difference between pools and baths?
"Spa-speak" talks a lot about pools and baths and hydro-this and hydro-that, and it's easy to get confused about what they all are.
There are many facilities that come under the heading of "water therapies", including hydrotherapy, baths and pools.
If you go to a spa you are likely to be offered use of their pools. Many spas describe them as "hydrotherapy pools" or hydromassage, a series of pools with differently swirling or pumping water that massage your body as you move through the water.
There are also a number of treatments that take place in, or involve, baths or water in some way. In terms of an indoor UK-spa experience, you can expect to help yourself to pools, and to find other people in them with you; a bath is more likely to be private, and usually describes a water-based immersion treatment with special oils or minerals.
