For those that are not familiar with what the swim spa is, it's smaller than a standard swimming pool, but larger than your average hot tub. They come in various sizes and can range between 14 to 16 feet in length, 7 to 9 feet in width, and between 3 to 5 feet deep.

The swim spa works off a propulsion system designed to create currents of rushing water. Fitness enthusiasts really find this advantageous as they use it to swim against the current to help increase their fitness level.

Owners of hot tubs will tell you about the pure enjoyment it brings them time and time again. Some that are new to a hot tub may feel that it is not appropriate for use in the summer. Those that experienced make as much use of their hot tub during the hot weather as they do during the other seasons.

Most people that own a hot tub want to take advantage of it all year round. When the seasons change they often like to do some extra maintenance to really enhance its performance. Spring is one of the times where this takes place.
