By adding a pool and other elements, the couple thought it would make it a destination, a place where they could spend as much time as possible outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe went looking at pools and hot tubs. I thought, \u2018Well, if we get a pool, we can\u2019t use it all year long,\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cSo both of us came to the conclusion: Let\u2019s get a swim spa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Live Life Better with a Swimming Pool Alternative \u2014 A Master Spas Story\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0SNGuAV7eUc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Debra and Al decided to buy an H2X Fitness Swim Spa by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Master Spas (opens in a new tab)\">Master Spas<\/a>.

It was quite the sight, the couple says, but it went smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were swimming in it that evening,\u201d Al says. \u201cIt was just that easy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The placement and installation of a swim spa takes just a few hours. If you want to use your swim spa as soon as possible, be sure to schedule your electrician on the day of delivery. You can also have water delivered via a truck to make filling the swim spa a quick process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For information about installing a swim spa,&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2xswimspa.com\/h2x-swimspa-planning-guide\"><em>download our Backyard Planning Guide<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exercise and therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Debra and Al have managed lower back problems, and the swim spa has been a place where they can exercise and stretch without pressure on their joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water&#8217;s buoyancy can reduce the effects of gravity by up to 90 percent, depending on how deep the water is. If you are exercising in chest-deep water, you will have about 80 percent less impact on your joints than on land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than that, you can move through a greater range of motion when you are exercising in the water. You might even notice that you can do more in a swim spa than on land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo be able to exercise and stretch in the weightlessness of water is really easy and it helps a lot,\u201d Al says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Debra enjoys swimming, water running, stretching, and doing core work in the swim spa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also the option to attach rowing bars and resistance tubing to the swim spa, as well as use the dumbbells that come in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2xswimspa.com\/h2x-swimspa-fitness\">H2Xercise System<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2xswimspa.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swim-spa-lounging-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"swim spa ideas\" class=\"wp-image-1036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swim-spa-lounging-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swim-spa-lounging-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swim-spa-lounging-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swim-spa-lounging-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swim-spa-lounging-520x347.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swim-spa-lounging-740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swim-spa-lounging.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Debra enjoys relaxing in the swim spa during the summer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Year-round use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When deciding between a pool and swim spa, Debra and Al wanted somewhere that they could enjoy the water year-round.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Debra does enjoy the summer more \u2014&nbsp;\u201cI love to put the lounge in there and float around all day. Lounging around in the summertime is my favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really the more diehard during the winter,\u201d Al says. \u201cWinter is incredible when you are out there.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWinter is really neat when it snows,\u201d Debra adds. \u201cThe snow is coming down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backyard patio accessories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The couple installed the swim spa as part of a backyard makeover. To maximize the investment and make it a true outdoor living area, the couple included patio accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Towel warmer<\/strong>. Deb and Al enjoy using the swim spa in the winter, and a warm towel is comforting after a January soak.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gas fire pit<\/strong>. A fire pit provides heat and ambiance in the evening, whether it\u2019s summer, fall, winter, or spring. But a wood fire can be smoky, with ash blowing on people sitting nearby. A gas fire pit makes enjoying the night sky and sounds of the water cozier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gas fire pit is made of stone pavers and features colored glass. While Debra and Al chose red glass, this style of fire pit allows you to choose material based on style and preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smoker and grill<\/strong>. As a chef, Al wanted to have a place to cook and entertain. A built-in grill and smoker allow him to bring the kitchen outdoors, making it easier to entertain friends and family.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2xswimspa.com\/h2x-swimspa-backyard-ideas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/backyard-makeover-swim-spa-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"backyard makeover ideas\" class=\"wp-image-1038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/backyard-makeover-swim-spa-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/backyard-makeover-swim-spa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/backyard-makeover-swim-spa-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/backyard-makeover-swim-spa-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/backyard-makeover-swim-spa-520x347.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/backyard-makeover-swim-spa-740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/backyard-makeover-swim-spa.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Debra and Al included a gas fire pit and multiple seating areas in their backyard makeover.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relaxation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An H2X Trainer not only features swim jets for exercise but three contoured seats and the Xtreme Therapy Cove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The therapy seats have adjustable massage jets that target your neck, shoulders, and back.
