The wonderful thing about swim spas is their ability to not only do double but triple duty. They can provide a place to exercise (in numerous ways), a place to relax, and a place to play and have fun with family and friends.
They offer a Place to Exercise
An important reason many people want to invest in a swim spa is for a space-saving location to swim. While they are smaller than a pool that is large enough to swim laps in, today’s swim spa current technology allows you to swim in place against a continuous flow of water.
The current can be altered with most models to set a pace you feel comfortable with. From there, you can add things like mirrors to the bottom to help you evaluate your form or smart swim goggles that track your pace. Many professional swimmers use swim spas to help them train and increase endurance.
You can do more than just swim in a swim spa, though. Many models come with accessories like a stationary bike, swim tether, underwater treadmill, rowing equipment, or even resistance bands that can be attached for additional workout options.
If you want to make the most out of owning a swim spa, consider investing in additional accessories. Creating an all-in-one home gym can give you access to incredible fitness in temperature-controlled water that is perfectly heated in any season.
They offer a Place to Relax
Swim spas are truly the best of both a pool and a spa. Once you are finished with your workout, you can use your spa as a hot tub. The water and filtration systems are similar to hot tubs. You will find sleek, ergonomic seats and jets in most mid-range models.
Some of the higher-end models even have options for separate swim and soak spaces. You can set your swimming area to a cooler temperature and have a separate hot tub zone for luxurious and relaxing soaks.
Being able to move directly to a seat after a workout to have jets massage your muscles is an excellent recovery technique. For anyone who may struggle with a higher weight or pain that makes it difficult to work out, this combination can allow you to work out for longer periods of time with more consistency, since your body won’t need as much time to recover properly.
They offer a Place to Unwind
Many people also use their swim spas as a place to enjoy family time. It is still a pool after all! Even if you have a smaller space, you can install a swim spa, and the kids can swim, play and have a great time.
Whether you choose an indoor or outdoor installation, swim and relax all year long as a family. Children love learning to swim and perfecting their strokes in the comfort of their own homes.
Enjoy movie night, game night, or date night in the comfort of your swim spa with those you love. With so many sizes available, you can get one as large or small as you need.
