Can You Really Swim In A Swim Spa?

If you’ve ever considered adding a swim spa to your home, you’ve probably asked whether you actually swim in one. After all, with such a significant investment, you’ll want to ensure that any new garden addition is worth it.

The simple answer here is yes, but let’s explore exactly what that means and how a swim spa could be the perfect addition to your household.

How Do Swim Spas Work?

Swim spas are designed to combine the benefits of a traditional pool with the luxury of a hot tub. They offer a versatile space for swimming, exercising, and relaxing. However, the key difference is that swim spas offer an adjustable water current created using high-powered jets. This continuous stream of water allows you to swim continuously in a compact space – ideal for swimming-focused exercises in your own home.

Do Swim Spas Provide An Effective Workout Environment?

Swim spas are ideal for building stamina, improving swim technique, and enhancing overall fitness. The current is adjustable, allowing you to set it to your desired intensity. For stronger swimmers, a powerful current will provide enough resistance to create a challenging workout. For beginners or those recovering from injury, the current can be dialled down to allow for more gentle, low-impact exercise.

Not only do swim spas cater to different fitness levels, but they also support a variety of activities beyond swimming, such as water aerobics, resistance training, and even aqua yoga. The buoyancy of water minimises impact on joints, making swim spas a popular choice for people looking for low-impact fitness options too.

Are Swim Spa’s Solely For Swimming?

Swim spas don’t just have to be used for fitness – they are also incredibly relaxing and designed to enhance wellness. Many models include hydrotherapy jets and seating, meaning you can enjoy a relaxing massage after working out. They’re also perfect for families and offer a fun, safe space for kids to splash around while adults enjoy hydrotherapy simultaneously.
