With homeowners weighing the options of a swimming pool and a hot tub as an addition to their backyards, the swim spa has quickly gained a reputation for making the best of both worlds possible. Swim spas, sometimes referred to as “endless swimming pools” or “swimming spas,” offer a variety of features that make them a versatile and convenient option for those who want to swim, exercise, and relax in their own backyard.

One of the main benefits of swim spas is their ability to provide a swimming experience that’s even better than that of a traditional pool. Configured with a menu of programmable flow currents, swim spas enable you to perform distance swimming exercises in one place. Because you don’t have to break stride for flip turns, a swim spa provides the unbroken rhythm of swimming in open water.  

It’s easy to see why swim spas are the exercise machine of choice for triathletes! Whether you’re training for a race or just a regular joe who enjoys swimming, you can swim, practice your strokes, or train without ever having to leave your backyard. Additionally, you can add swim spa accessories like aqua bikes, resistance cords, and rowing equipment to intensify your workout. 

Plus, since swim spas are temperature controlled, you can comfortably use it year-round!

One of the best things about swim spas is their versatility. They can be used for a variety of activities, such as exercise, relaxation, and entertainment. Whether you want to swim laps, soak in the hot tub, or host a backyard party, swim spas can accommodate your needs. This makes them a great option for homeowners who want to make the most of their backyard space without purchasing both a pool and a hot tub.

Swim spas have another economic edge over traditional pools in that they’re usable all year long. With a traditional pool, your swim season is restricted to the warmer months of late spring through summer with opening and winterizing processes bookending the fun in the sun. A swim spa, on the other hand, has warm water circulating throughout the shell and plumbing. This means that you can enjoy a swim or soak even during those Hudson Valley winters when your backyard is under a layer of snow.

Wellis swim spas are also energy efficient. They use less energy than traditional swimming pools. Additionally, if you’re weighing your options between an inground pool versus a swim spa, a swim spa is the more cost effective backyard pool. 

Another financial advantage of swim spas is that they are comparatively low maintenance. Unlike traditional swimming pools, which require regular cleaning, Wellis Swim Spas include both UV and Ozone water sanitation systems that make it much easier to maintain the water’s cleanliness. In conjunction with these cutting-edge sanitation features, the spa’s compact size means that you won’t need to spend as much money on water-balancing chemicals as you would with a traditional pool.
