Floatation Suite<\/h1>

How hygienic is it?<\/h4><\/div>

Nothing harmful can survive within the float pool due to the very high saline content of the water. In addition to this, the water in the float pool is automatically filtered.<\/div><\/li>

Do I need to wear anything?<\/h4><\/div>

Yes, you do! We recommend wearing swimwear.<\/div><\/li>

Is there a risk of drowning?<\/h4><\/div>

The high buoyancy of the water makes it impossible for you to sink beneath the surface of the water.<\/p>\n

However, you must not use the pool if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs with a sedative effect.<\/p><\/div><\/li>

Is it OK to go to sleep?<\/h4><\/div>

Yes ! Many find that it is so relaxing that they fall asleep (1 hours sleep in the float pool is like 2-3 hours sleep in a bed as there is no pressure on any part of your body).<\/div><\/li>

Will I feel claustrophobic?<\/h4><\/div>

No, this is an OPEN floatation pool.<\/div><\/li>

What can I expect from the experience?<\/h4><\/div>

It's a totally personal experience, it's the closest thing you can get to zero gravity, and as such people use the float pool for total relaxation. Not one of your muscles is being used whilst you are effortlessly floating, you lay on your back with your head partially submerged (ear plugs are worn), your face does not become submerged. If this is your first time you may take a few minutes to find your most comfortable position, some find that having arms by their sides, or out in a T shape or hands behind the neck, take a few moments to find yours! The water is heated to body temperature and the room is kept an an ambient temperature so you wont get cold. The total float time is one hour. Many people find longer term benefits by regularly floating.<\/div><\/li>

Can I float with a partner or carer? <\/h4><\/div>

Yes! Our float tank is big enough for two people to float comfortably at the same time. It's ideal to share with a partner or friend \u2013 or, for those of us who need an extra hand, you are welcome to come with a carer.<\/p>\n

Please also see Is there a minimum age?<\/em><\/div><\/li>

Can I wear contact lenses?<\/h4><\/div>

We recommend that you remove your contact lenses (be sure to bring a fresh pair for afterwards!) If you do get any of the salty water in your eyes we have a fresh water spray to use to spray onto your eyes.<\/div><\/li><\/ul>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”ucbox second trb” width=”1\/2″]

• What are the dos and don'ts? (Essential reading!)<\/h4><\/div>

  \n
  • DON'T<\/strong> enter the floatation pool wearing any products capable of colouring or tainting the pool water<\/strong>*, such as\n
    \n
    • makeup<\/strong> (it's best to arrive without wearing makeup, rather than planning to take it off thoroughly in the floatation suite)<\/li>\n
    • non-permanent or recent hair colouring or tints<\/strong>\n
    • tanning products<\/strong>\n<\/ul>\n
    • DON'T use the pool under the influence of alcohol or drugs<\/strong> with a sedative effect. This is for your safety.\n
    • DON'T shave<\/strong> just before floating as cuts and scrapes can sting in the pool (by the way, if you do have any small cuts you can cover them with a small waterproof bandage or with some Vaseline to help prevent stinging)<\/li>\n
    • DO<\/strong> use the shower<\/strong> before entering the pool<\/li>\n
    • DO<\/strong> use the bathroom<\/strong> before getting in (you don't want to be distracted by a toilet break!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      <\/p>\n* People wearing such products may contaminate the pool water, which can require the pool to be closed for some time to be drained and cleaned, with filters to be cleaned or replaced and water and salts to be replaced, at a cost of up to \u00a31,000. Clients are asked to sign a form, undertaking not to enter the pool while wearing such products.<\/em>\n\n<\/div><\/li>

    • Is there a minimum age?<\/h4><\/div>

      Yes. For health and safety reasons, children must be 12 or over to use the float pool (no under-12s) and those aged 12\u201316 must be accompanied by their legally responsible parent or guardian.<\/div><\/li>

      How will I know when my float is ending?<\/h4><\/div>

      You will hear a chime which signals the end of your floatation session, so you don't have to worry about how long or short a time you have been floating. Please be mindful as you move from laying down to sitting up and slowly standing, you have just had an hour of total relaxation and zero gravity so be kind to your body as you become more 'aware'. <\/div><\/li>

      What is included in the float? What do I need to bring with me?<\/h4><\/div>

      For your personal safety during the pandemic, we don't supply towels*, so please bring your own., as well as your swimwear, swimming cap (if you wish to use one) and any personal toiletries.<\/p>\n

      For those who wear makeup, we advise that you arrive without makeup on, as you will need to remove it thoroughly (please see Dos and don'ts<\/em>). If you cannot avoid arriving in makeup, please remember to bring what you need to remove it completely.<\/p>\n

      We do have shampoo and body wash in non-touch infrared soap dispensers, and single-use disposable ear plugs, should you want to use them. We also have reusable ear plugs for sale in the Centre.<\/p><\/div><\/li>

      I'm disabled, can I use the Float Pool?<\/h4><\/div>

      In many cases, yes. We ask that you please bring your carer with you if you are in need of one to assist you. Please consult with your doctor before booking a float to make sure you get the OK, and please call the Unity Spa Manager to make sure we understand any physical challenges that you are managing so that we can make sure we have all the correct safety measures taken care of for you.<\/div><\/li>

      I'm pregnant, can I use the float pool?<\/h4><\/div>

      We don't recommend floating until 12 weeks of gestation but, after that, yes you can. If you are heavily pregnant you will most likely benefit more than any one else! The discomfort of lying on a bed during the latter part of pregnancy is to the gravitational strain placed on the body: you can escape that strain by floating effortlessly.<\/div><\/li>

      I'm menstruating, can I use the Float Pool?<\/h4><\/div>

      Yes, please follow the same process you would for swimming.<\/div><\/li>

      Can I float with epilepsy?<\/h4><\/div>

      If you are living with epilepsy (or you have experiences of epilepsy) that is not under control by medication, we do not advise using the float pool on your own. We recommend that you should be accompanied (eg by a partner or friend). This is for your safety in the water.<\/div><\/li>

      When should I arrive?<\/h4><\/div>

      Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment so that we can explain everything thoroughly.<\/div><\/li><\/ul>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” css=”.vc_custom_1562687949931{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”txtbox-ucp quotes words”][vc_column_text]For more information about our float pool, please contact our Holistic Spa Manager[\/vc_column_text]
