Swim Spas - A Great Recreational And Work Out Tool

If you are looking for something that is not as grand as the swimming pool with its

associated expenses or as small as the hot tubs, then you need to look at swim spas. This is one arrangement that is ideal for all kinds of people given the fact that swim spas are easy to install, maintain and gives you the advantages of a pool and a health spa in one unit.

These units do not occupy space as they are only about nineteen to twenty four feet in length and eight to ten feet wide. Since they are made of acrylic, they are very light and can be easily installed. It is only the fiberglass ones that are heavier.

Swim Spas help you move against a continuous stream of water current. You do not have to complete laps or turn around like in a normal pool, but just have to keep exercising within the space provided to ensure you get the recreational activity you so desperately wanted, right in your back yard. It provides the whole range of aqua aerobics activities, from swimming to weight resistance training, to water jogging, making it the ideal therapeutic tool for tired bodies. It has been found to be effective for those recuperating from any sports injuries.

The reason is that these units have been designed so that you can indulge in aqua jogging as well as other hectic water based activities. The depth is adjustable and the flow of the water jets can also be fine tuned to deliver just the right force and direction.

In terms of maintenance, the automatic version is ideal since the water accumulating at the surface is continuously pulled in by the skimmer that purifies it. Moreover any debris is also trapped by the pre-filter and is prevented from getting inside the unit. You can also get split model units which combine the utilities of a hot tub as well as a small pool in which you can laze around.

However, there are certain questions you need to ask yourself before deciding to choose a unit like this. They are:

a) How keen is your interest in water sports and exercise?

b) Are you really looking for something recreational that is also affordable?

c) Can you spare the space?

If the answer is in the affirmative to all the above questions then you can go ahead and purchase the spa unit. The unit can also be used as a great place to just laze around with friends.

Another advantage with these units is that they are easy to maintain and they do not require a lot of scrubbing to keep them clean. If you can afford it, you can also add a range of accessories such as underwater treadmills or rowers and these accessories are also capable of keeping track of the speed and distance if you so desire, to monitor the progress you have made over time.
