From athletes to competitive swimmers, anyone looking for a convenient way to enjoy low-impact exercise should really check out the advantages of owning a swim spa.
What is a Swim Spa?
Traditional swim spas are known by many names including exercise spas, lap pools and aquatic fitness pools. But regardless of what you call them, the benefits of owning one are clear – fun, fitness and relaxation…year round!
A swim spa is a great alternative to a traditional in-ground swimming pool, but for less money. It is the perfect solution for families with limited space. A swim spa provides a convenient backyard center for entertainment as well as health and relaxation for the whole family.
In terms of size, swim spas are usually 12 and 14 feet long and are built to be “portable.” In this case portable means two things. #1 – Swim spas can be installed on a level foundation without the need to install plumbing and can be filled with a common garden hose. #2 – If installed above ground, it can be moved to a different location.
How Does a Swim Spa Work?
The swim spa works great for swimming because of the never-ending current. By swimming against the powerful current, you can experience the health benefits of swimming laps in a traditional pool but in a much smaller space.
Swim spas typically create an adjustable current at one end to swim against. The jet current strength can be adjusted to accommodate swimmers at every level, from beginner to seasoned professionals.
