Don’t get us wrong, a swim spa is an incredible and highly effective swim machine. Turn on the perfectly balanced water flow and swim laps that challenge your skill level, endurance, and cardio strength. All swim abilities will love swimming in your swim spa all year long. But an Endless Pools® swim spa is far more than a swim machine! In fact, you can enjoy a plethora of other exercises, activities, and other benefits. Let us explain what makes swim spas more than just a swim machine and why you will love having this all-in-one tool right in your own backyard!
Choose from Multiple Cardio Options
While swimming is the most obvious cardio option in a swim spa, you can actually complete many other fun and effective cardiovascular exercises. In addition to being a swim machine, you can run or walk on the underwater treadmill, use the Aquabike for cycling, or row. Additionally, you can use the Endless Pools Fit@Home® app to easily control your cardio workouts from your smartphone. Create a workout ahead of time, alter the water flow and treadmill settings, save a routine, and more.
Move Those Muscles
The capabilities and benefits of a swim spa are not limited to cardio. You can also achieve lean, mean muscles through strength training in your Endless Pools swim spa. Starting with your lower body, complete low-impact squats and lunges in the water. This is especially wonderful for those with knee or hip pain that prevents them from completing these exercises on land.
Next up, use your swim spa for upper body strength with arm curls using an aquatic dumbbell. Then, don’t forget core strength. In an Endless Pools swim spa, you can do aquatic crunches along with other very effective core exercises. Get a complete workout with a swim spa!
Stretch It Out
Regularly stretching your muscles is highly beneficial. Stretching reduces your chance of injury, increases your physical output in exercise, improves mobility, and so much more. Completing these stretches in the warm water of a swim spa is even better as it allows your body to perform deeper stretches and increase range of motion in and out of the water. In an Endless Pools swim spa, enjoy stretching your whole body while staying focused on breathing.
Address Stress
According to data from the American Psychological Association, stress is at an all-time high in America. If you are familiar with stress and the physical effects of it, spending time in a swim spa can help address and eliminate the symptoms.
For starters, swim spa exercise is a proven way to decrease stress while also increasing your endorphins. Additionally, the warm waters of an Endless Pools swim spa along with its powerful jets can help eliminate muscle tension, help you unwind mentally, and leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Center your mind and body with a swim spa so you feel ready to face whatever challenges the day might bring. Read more on the ways a swim spa is like a hydrotherapy retreat right in your backyard.
Let’s Get Together
…and it will be more than alright! A swim spa is the perfect focal point for a backyard party. Swim spas by Endless Pools offer seating for between three and six people, depending upon the model, as well as space for swimming and wading. This allows for unique and extra fun social gatherings that your friends won’t soon forget. Cook up some delicious food, play a fun game, or sip a refreshing beverage all while soaking and enjoying time in the swim spa with your guests.
A swim spa is also perfect for spending quality time with your family or meeting up for a fun and relaxing date night.
The Perfect Training for Young Swimmers
Swimming is a wonderful skill to learn and develop from a young age. It can be an amazing way for little ones to stay healthy, burn energy, and have fun. A swim spa makes a great place for kids to learn to swim and gain confidence in their swim skills.
Swim spas allow for swim training outside of open water found in pools or natural bodies of water. Swimmers can practice their different strokes in a controlled water current. If they begin to find swimming too difficult or need a break, they can easily stand up or reach out for the edge of the swim spa.
When training little swimmers, use an abundance of caution and make swim spa rules clear. When kids are using the swim spa, we recommend that an adult is always present, you keep the water temperatures cooler, and that you prohibit jumping or diving. You should also keep all chemicals stored out of reach from little hands. Additionally, properly cover and secure your swim spa when it is not in use and have a fence installed around the swim area. Make safety a priority with young swimmers.
Enjoy a Little R & R
Whether it’s from a long week at work, the demands of your schedule, or just a regular weekday, we could all use a little rest and recuperation. A soak in the warm waters of your swim spa with therapy from powerful massage jets is just the remedy for whatever life might throw you. In as little as 15 minutes, you can refresh and reset your mind and body. You can also take a dip in the warm waters close to bedtime to calm your body and improve sleep quality.
An Endless Pools swim spa can be used for far more than just swimming. The whole family will enjoy using a swim spa in many ways.
