Benefits of Swim Spas
For many, the ideal home, the perfect home, wouldn’t be complete without a swimming pool. Unfortunately, the reality is that many people cannot afford a home with a pool, or to have a pool installed for that matter. In some cases, a homeowner might have the funds available to install a swimming pool, but their yard lacks the space. These are all reasons homeowners in California are opting for swim spas.
More and more, people without space or money for a swimming pool are discovering the benefits of a swim spa. But there are still those who think a swim spa is nothing more than eye candy in the back yard and fail to see the benefits. But those who have experienced a swim spa can attest firsthand as to the benefits.
Compact Design
Pools are big and just not an option for many people. Swim spas are small in design and can be installed in small yards because they don’t take up nearly as much space as a traditional pool.
Easy Installation
Swim spas are more like hot tubs than swimming pools as they are made from fiberglass and can be installed in-ground fairly easily. There are also above-ground models that make installation an even simpler task.
Easy Maintenance
Compared to traditional swimming pools, maintaining a swim spa is a whole lot easier and less costly. It is easier because swim spas use fewer chemicals and cheaper because they use smaller amounts of chemicals. In addition, swim spas are constructed with fiberglass, which offers a smooth surface that minimizes the growth of algae.
Portable
Swim spas have the advantage of being mobile, so you can take it with you when you move. Once a traditional swimming pool has been installed, it is not getting dug up and transferred to your new home when you move. You are stuck with having to have a new one installed.
Use it All Year Long
Your swim spa is small enough that it could be located indoors, which means regardless the season or the weather conditions, you can use it whenever you desire.
Exercise
One of the most popular reasons to own a swim spa is the ability to swim laps and get that much-needed exercise. The water jets on a swim spa are adjustable to allow you to swim at slower speeds or faster speeds. You can even turn the jets off and do other water-related exercises should you desire.
The health benefits of a swim spa are numerous. You can use a swim spa to help increase your blood circulation and help lower blood pressure. Using your swim spa loosens tight muscles and relieves tension built up during a tough day at work. Studies have shown that swim spas help people sleep better at night. People with chronic pain use swim spas as a form of treatment. The buoyancy of a swim spa offers relief for those who suffer from arthritis.
Basically, there aren’t any wrong reasons to buy a swim spa.
