Is it actually possible to swim in a swim spa?

Although it may seem absurd to swim in place while remaining stationary, we have done it for years on a treadmill, so why not apply the same principle but in water? Say goodbye to travelling down to the local leisure centre. Imagine how convenient it would be to be able to swim at any time of day or night in the privacy, comfort, and safety of your own home.

How do swim spas actually work?

Swim spas are integrated with a current system that enables continuous, on-the-spot swimming. The current is produced by jets that steadily pump water towards the swimming. These units tend to be self-contained, however it is possible to install a swim spa on the side of a swimming pool. Swim spas work comparably to hot tubs as water travels through filtration and suction inlets before returning through the swim jet system. One key difference, however, is that the flow rate of water is higher in a swim spa due to the more advanced swim jet technology.

How well can you swim in a swim spa?

Many people compare swimming in a swim spa to open water swimming. The Hydropool Executive Trainer Swim Spas come with a patented V-Twin jet system, self-clean function & turbulence-free ergonomically designed shell, allowing for an unobstructed swim.

There are numerous varieties of swim spas available. It is crucial to select the appropriate kind for your demands in terms of wellness, family, and exercise. For example, the Hydropool AquaSport comes equipped with Self-Clean mode, HydroClean floor vacuum, programable filtration cycles, underwater LED lighting for safety (also providing a wonderful light show), an Aquacord Swim Tether for exercise assistance and 15 therapy jets all within the one Swim Spa. This swim spa provides you more room for swimming, exercising, playing or even rehabilitation and delivers the most fun! Enjoy indoor or back garden living at its finest with a great sized pool and spa.

You can control how fast you swim with a touch of a button, and an adjustable current speed. This is beneficial, as some days you will be feeling more energetic than others, and it ensures the whole family can enjoy the swim spa. For those wanting to train in a swim spa, or swim at higher speeds, we would recommend the Trainer models. These have a digital in water control screen, which allows you to track time, distance travelled, calories burnt, etc.
