Whether you’re training for a triathlon or you’re simply hoping to improve your swimming skill and technique, an Endless Pool Swim Spa offers training benefits far beyond what you experience in a public or gym pool, or in an open-water environment.
College and professional athletes and coaches swear by the technology. Here, former Harvard swimming coach Tim Murphy discusses how his team benefitted from an Endless Pool:
Some benefits of an Endless Pool are fairly obvious – the adjustable speed allows you to control your workout and build strength, speed and endurance. Plus, “endless” is in the name for a reason. Whether you want to swim a 50 meter freestyle or swim for miles, an Endless Pools model can easily accommodate you.
If improving technique is something you’d like to concentrate on, Endless Pools has thought of that, too. The available mirror gives you real-time feedback on your stroke so you can make adjustments as you train, and some models can be fitted with a video system as well. This playback can provide even more detailed information on your technique that you can pour over once you’re out of the pool.
Round out your training regimen by choosing an Endless Pools model with an underwater treadmill.
You can further build your cardiovascular strength and endurance with low-impact, high-resistance workout that’s easy on your joints.
When you training session is complete, don’t forget one of the great benefits of a swim spa – the ergonomically designed hydrotherapy seats. Each seat has a unique jet configuration to target different zones. Be sure to try them all to find your favorite.
Endless Pools come in a variety of configurations, with different features. Choose the model that will best fit your needs, the yard or room you plan to place your Endless Pool, and your budget.
