The Benefits of Swim Spas for Small Spaces

If you don’t have the space or budget for a swimming pool, you’re in luck! Swim spas are a favorite alternative for traditional pools, thanks to their compact size. Read on to learn about some of the biggest benefits of owning a swim spa even if your space is limited! 

Save On Space 

Swim spas combine all the benefits of a traditional swimming pool and a luxury hot tub into one compact package. Just like a pool, swim spas can also be installed fully above ground, partially above ground, or fully in-ground, but require much less space!  

Eco Friendly 

Another benefit of swim spas is that they’re a more eco-friendly option than a traditional pool, and require much less water and power. They also come with their own water purification systems, which means they require less chemicals to keep clean—a benefit for both you and the environment. 

Year-Round Use 

With easy-to-use temperature controls, swim spas are perfectly equipped for year-round use. Even when it’s too cold for swimming pools, you can adjust the temperature in a swim spa with the touch of a button and your water will be the perfect temperature in minutes. 

Luxury 

One of the most desirable benefits of swim spas for small spaces is the luxury they bring. Hydrotherapy and therapeutic massage jets provide a number of health and relaxation benefits including pain relief, reduced stress, and more. 

Recreation 

Another advantage of swim spas is the fun they provide for the whole family, year-round. Everyday entertainment with friends and family is easy with the recreational benefits a swim spa provides. Everything from teaching beginners how to swim, to playing all your favorite songs on the Bluetooth sound system at your next backyard party, swim spas can do it all! 

Fitness

All our swim spa models come equipped with adjustable swim currents and optional aquatic workout equipment to suit any low-impact, full-body exercising routine.
