Swimming Systems: The Right Swim Spa For You.

by | Nov 12, 2020

Swimming is one of the best exercises we can do to keep fit. Unfortunately, an in-ground swimming pool comes with it’s own expense, and going to a public swimming pool is not always possible or convenient.

In harsher climates, you might be lucky to swim in your in-ground pool for five months out of the year without having to spend a ton to heat your pool. Fortunately, an All Weather Pool, also known as an Aqua Trainer, Never-ending Pool or Swim Spa combines the best of a swimming pool and a hot tub into one. All Weather Pool systems provide an affordable and easy solution.

How Does a Swim Spa Work?

Swim Spas aren’t harsh on the body and joints making it easy to stay in shape without putting on extra pressure and strain to your knees and other body parts. Swim Spas allow you to easily adjust the water jets, so you can be in control of the speed and pace of your workout. Relax, workout or splash around. These pools are perfect for solo soaks or large groups.

All Swim Spas, All Weather Pools, Never-ending Pools and Aqua Trainers incorporate some sort of swim in place system within a small swimming pool. There are two options when it comes to swimming systems.
