What is a swim spa?
The innovative concept of the swim spa combines the benefits of an aquatic center with the comfort of a spa/jacuzzi, thus ensuring the relaxing virtues of hydrotherapy. You have the freedom to choose between invigorating physical exercise or a moment of relaxation. Selecting a model with a counter-current swimming system allows you to meet the needs of the entire family.
The pumps in swim spas create a powerful current, enabling you to swim against it. Swim spas are appreciated both by sports enthusiasts who want to stay fit and perform aquatic strengthening or water aerobics exercises, and by families with children or anyone wishing to enjoy a private relaxation space at home. The swim spa offers a true moment of leisure and relaxation similar to that of a pool, but requires significantly less space for installation.

A swim spa can be installed outdoors—in a garden or on a terrace, either built-in or freestanding—or indoors if you have enough space, for example in a veranda.
What are the advantages?
- Easy to install
- Takes up less space than a traditional pool
- Requires less maintenance than a pool

How does a swim spa work?
A swim spa operates by drawing in water through pumps and expelling it under high pressure. This water is returned through powerful jets that create a strong current against which the user can swim. The flow rate can be adjusted to suit the swimmer’s skill level. Our devices are electrically powered and provide easy access to pumps and motors for maintenance or repair.
