What is a swim spa?
A swim spa is essentially a pool that allows you to swim continuously against a water current. They are more compact than standard above ground swimming pools and the spa’s powerful counter-current jets will give even the strongest swimmers an excellent workout.
They are the go to for professional athletes but can form an important part of the day-to-day fitness regime of anyone who wants to stay in good shape.
Although primarily used for fitness purposes spas can also be used for leisure and entertaining as they act as hot tubs as well. You can even purchase split-models that have a hot tub one end and a swimming area the other end.
Why should you invest in one?
Convenient
A swim spa is much more convenient than a Swimming Pool Installation. For starters, they don’t take up as much space and are more compact and affordable pools. They are also easy to install whether it’s in the ground or above ground.
In addition to this, swim spas are portable and so if you end up moving to a new house there’s no need to panic, you can take it with you. The sturdy construction and stainless-steel frame of these products means that trained and experience staff can pick up and relocate your swim spa with all internal components in place.
For fitness and health
As swim spa could be the missing part of your fitness regime that you’ve been searching for. Whether you just want to stay fit and healthy or you are taking on the gruelling demands of competitive swimming having a swim spa at your house will make training a whole lot easier.

No huge electricity bills
Swim spas are built with superior insulation materials and insulated shells meaning that your pool is as cost effective to run as possible.

They have state-of-the-art sanitising and filtration systems along with top quality pumps to ensure that you have the cleanest and safest pool possible. Any scale build up or hard water problems can be controlled with certain chemicals and due to the size of the pools they are a lot painless to maintain than a full-sized swimming pool, which can require a lot of general maintenance and cleaning.

Swim spas come complete with insulated, locking covers and top-quality thermoplastic shells so that they maintain a constant temperature. This means they are ready for you to take the plunge at any time, morning, noon or night and season to season. All you need to do is adjust the temperature to create the perfect conditions.
