Do you want to know what’s the difference between a swimming pool and a swim spa? Thanks to tremendous technological advances, today you no longer have to choose between the bubbling massage of a hot tub and the toning aquatic workout of a pool. Called swim spas, these combination swim-in place pools/healing hot spas offer the best of both worlds right in your backyard.
Swim spas have a number of key advantages that are making them the fastest growing category in the pool and spa business today
1. Swim spas, while larger than normal spas, are much smaller than pools. As backyards increasingly grow smaller, swimspas (which typically range from 3m to 6m in length, 2.3m wide and 1.3m deep) have become the perfect solution
2. Investing in a swim spa is generally less expensive than purchasing a pool. A portable swim spa will cost from $16k for a very basic plunge model to $40k+ for a fully equipped dualzone, with the only extras being a reinforced concrete slab/base, safety barrier in some areas, electrical connection and water. Depending on the manufacturer, pool size, equipment, your site conditions and the customisation you choose, a typical swimming pool can cost between $40k and $100k+. Installation can also get quite pricy with hidden extras and additional landscaping.
3. Swim spas are easier to maintain and heat than pools because of their smaller size/body of water which gives you the benefit of being able to use it all year round, no matter what the seaon
4. A swim spa is a self-contained unit, so can be moved if you decide to relocate to another home
5. If installing your swim spa above ground, due to its height of 1.3m, the cabinet of the swim spa can actually double as pool fencing for locations that require safety barriers around spas. This means that you only need to fence of a small area around your entry steps or any other climbable objects, making a swim spa an even more affordable option.
