What is the difference between hot tubs and swim spas?

​

Unlike a hot tub, a swim spa is designed mainly for fitness purposes. If you are an avid swimmer, love open water swimming, and want to keep up your fitness routine at home- swim spas offer a great swim quality!

​

Swim spas come with a smooth and powerful motor that creates a water current you can swim against. Furthermore, they are larger than hydropool hot tubs but smaller than regular pools. A hot tub provides relaxation and soothes sore muscles. But a swim spa offers much more space and comfort.

FAQs

 

1. Are swim spas really worth it?

 

Yes, if you want to invest in improving your health, wellness, and longevity. Installing a swim spa is a comfortable way to stay fit in your garden without breaking the bank or spending on expensive gym memberships or saunas.

​

2. Can you actually swim in a swim spa?

 

Absolutely! Not many people know this, but you can swim in a 12-foot spa that is 4.5 feet deep. And you can do it all year round no matter what the weather is like. Ideal for athletes or occasional swimmers, regardless of ability!

​

3. Can a swim spa act as a hot tub?

 

It's almost the same as a hot tub and offers the same hydrotherapy benefits for your body as hot tubs. But unlike a hot tub, it allows you to enjoy swimming. Specific benefits include your own private exercise space and no chlorine odour. Check our collection of hot tubs for sale if you are still not sure which of the two will better suit your needs.

​

4. Is it expensive to run a swim spa?

 

No. Unlike a swimming pool, you don't need to use pool chemicals for upkeep and maintenance after installation. With swim spas, you need to change the water periodically, but you don't need to fight algae on an ongoing basis. The cost of maintaining your aquatic oasis is minimal!
