Swim Spa Uses
A swim spa is a large spa that is specifically designed for a range of water activities.
Exercise - fit and trim
Keep yourself "fit and trim" with a huge range of water based exercises. You can do all of the exercises and stretches that you do in a gym - lunges, triceps dips, squats, lateral fly's and many more.
The warm water soothes any sore spots while exercising and your body's natural buoyancy ensures that there is no excessive pressure on joints.

Fun
There is lots of fun to be had - not just for the kids! A swim spas use is only limited by the imagination. It will provide hours of entertainment for the whole family and because the water is warm you can enjoy it all year round.
Knee boarding, duck diving, rubber duck racing, rubber ring riding are just some of the activities. It can even be used as a water ride by using the powerful jets to propel you from one end to the other.

"we use it all year round" - Angela
Relaxation and Massage
Imagine having your own day spa - ready 24 hours a day! Chill out after a hard day - put on your favourite CD. Let the warm water soothe you and take away the stresses of modern day life.
Just sit back and relax or enjoy the company of a special friend.

"my husband does a lot of work in the car and the massage helps his back" - Judy
Resistance Workouts
Effective workouts using resistance. The most effective workouts are often those that use resistance. Exercising against the strong flow of the water is both challenging and invigorating.
There are a huge range of resistance exercises that can be undertaken.
"I use rubber bar bells as resistance against the water" - Rosemary
Swimming
Swim at Home - save the trip to the local pool. Swimming in a swim spa is like running on a jogging machine - you swim on the spot. The swim spas have an open space with extremely high powered jets at one end. These jets are adjusted to suit each swimmer, be they a beginner or more accomplished swimmer.
You can practice freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and even butterfly - all swimming strokes can be used in a swim spa. Many serious swimmers use a kick board to strengthen their legs.
"I was never able to do a flip turn, now I don't have to" - Andrew
"the only place you can swim for 2 km continuously except for the ocean" - Troy
Walking and Jogging
No more pounding the pavement. A swim spa provides the perfect warm water environment to walk and jog in. The swim jets can be adjusted to suit your pace.
"the walking builds muscles up and is great for rheumatoid arthritis" - Chris
Rehabilitation
A swim spa puts rehabilitation into a new league. Starting with little or no water resistance, patients in the initial stage of rehab can begin therapy sooner due to the buoyancy of water.
Results can be measured as patient's progress through the continuum of variable depths and increasing water resistance. Treatment can be extended into a full range of training and conditioning.
"I use as a part of my rehab treatment every day" - Chris
