Advantages of a counter-current swimming pool

The most popular pool sizes are between 4 and 6 m in length and 2.2 to 2.3 m in width. The average depth of the pool is between 1.3 and 1.5 m.

Its small size allows you to place it almost anywhere, even indoors. It can be installed outside or inside, installed in the ground, above the ground or even on a reinforced platform or terrace. Unlike a standard concrete pool, the pool with counter-current is mobile, so it has the option of being moved in case of relocation or moving. While a standard pool takes 2-4 weeks or more to install, a counterflow pool installation usually takes a day or two; of course depending on the installation method. 

Despite its compact size, such a pool can accommodate up to 10 people, depending on the model and intended use. In the case of swimming against the current, the pool can be used by one to two people, while in the case of massage, the latter depends on the number of available seats.

The use of high-quality materials resistant to impact, pressure, chlorine and salt water allows the pool to have a long life, which means that with proper regular maintenance, the pool can serve you for more than ten years. A pool with counter-current system otherwise requires only minimal maintenance.

It is also necessary to check the pH and alkalinity levels of the water.

The need for cleaning is minimal, as the pool has built-in high-quality filter systems. However, it is better to cover the pool with a thermal cover when not in use. This will protect the water from the intrusion of external elements and reduce maintenance costs in the field of water chemistry. At the same time, you will save on operating costs or heating costs as well as the maintenance itself, as you will need less time for it. 

Swimming in place or against the current is an ideal form of exercise, as all the muscles in the body are activated. Only these become stronger, become flexible.

Swimming maintains your fitness, endurance, strength, coordination and vitality. It improves your joints and muscles without the risk of injury, such as sprains, pinched nerves and stress fractures. It also allows you to lose weight, which in turn reduces the strain on your knees, hips and other joints. The Swim Spa was created for athletes, as it allows them to practice swimming intensively, while also regenerating and gaining endurance. By adapting the power of the current, the intensity and pace of training can also be adapted to the knowledge and abilities of the athletes. Swimming at a faster pace thus helps to improve their endurance and speed, while by slowing down the swimming current, they can improve their swimming technique and increase their efficiency.

In addition to swimming, in the swim spa other water exercises can be performed with the help of accessories, such as e.g. cardio, weight training, rowing with stretch cords, stationary leg kicks to strengthen lower muscles and joints, squats, deadlifts, step aerobics, yoga, walking against the current on an underwater treadmill, low-impact jogging, and stretching and recovery after exercise in heated water.

In addition to swimming, the counter-current pool also offers effective water therapy. hydrotherapy. This is a challenge for you.

A countercurrent pool is much more ecological as it requires less space, water and energy than standard pools. It also doesn't need a lot of chemicals to keep it clean. In terms of price, it is more accessible, as prices range from around 18,000 euros to 25,000 euros and up, depending on the size and quality of the pool. Which is still half the cost of installing a standard concrete swimming pool. The latter also brings the so-called hidden costs (installation of a protective fence, increased insurance costs), which is not the case with a Swim Spa. It also does not require construction documentation for installation, as is required for built-in concrete pools, with the exception of installing the pool in the ground.

Standard pools lose their value over the years. Unlike them, spa pools retain their original value. Installing a swim spa with massage jets and counter current system will thus increase the total final value of your property.
