Jordan Hasay might be known for her determination, grace, and blistering pace over the course of 26.2 miles. But for the California native and professional athlete, running was not her first sport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was swimming \u2014 encouraged by her mother, Teresa Hasay, who was an accomplished swimmer herself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But while Hasay has made her career on land, the water is still an important part of her life and training routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasay became a brand ambassador for Master Spas<\/a> in 2020, allowing her to take advantage of the swim spa benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"swim<\/a>
A swim spa can benefit runners, Hasay says. They can swim as a cross-training exercise or use it for recovery. When managing an injury, runners can take up aqua jogging.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Swim Spa Benefits for Runners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Runners, professional and recreational, often see the pool as punishment. It\u2019s a place that you have to go when you are injured, swapping miles on the road for laps or aqua jogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Hasay has long incorporated swimming into her training schedule, helping her to train smarter and get closer to her goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I\u2019m in full training, I\u2019m running about 120 miles a week \u2014 running twice a day,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, after a run, she\u2019ll jump in the water for 20 to 30 minutes for extra cardio. And, early in her season, she\u2019ll swap a second run for a session in the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backyard Convenience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It can be challenging to muster the motivation to drive to the pool and hop in the cool water \u2014 especially for Hasay, who says she gets cold easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDriving to the pool is not always worth it because I still need to make sure I\u2019m resting and recovering,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The H2X Challenger 15D<\/a>, though, \u201chas been huge,\u201d she says. She was able to run less miles while staying fit and getting in extra training. Installed in her backyard, she can walk outside and start swimming in less than five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Hasay can keep it set at a therapeutic temperature in the low 90s, ensuring that she definitely won\u2019t be cold. The temperature is easy to adjust on the touchscreen and can be safely turned up to 99 degrees for relaxing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warm water of the swim spa has also afforded Hasay the opportunity to do marathon-simulation workouts. With an aqua jogging belt, she will \u201crun\u201d for up to three hours in the swim spa. The H2X Challenger 15D has a water depth of about 51 inches for buoyancy, reducing the wear and tear on Hasay\u2019s body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"swim<\/a>
The swim jets are for more than creating an endless current of water. Hasay likes to use the jets for a deep tissue massage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recovering in a Swim Spa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First introduced to swim spas because of Master Spas\u2019 partnership with Michael Phelps<\/a>,  Hasay was interested in using the pool alternative for cardio workouts. However, the swim spa has become an integral part of her recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing the jets has become part of my daily routine,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swim spa features the Xtreme Therapy Cove,  a stand-up jet arrangement that targets the hips and legs. It can be used to massage the muscles after  a difficult run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasay, though, also likes to use the swim jets to work out any tight spots on her back and legs. The swim jets can move more water, and there\u2019s also a stainless-steel grab bar for stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recovery is important as a professional athlete but Hasay also stresses that it\u2019s important for recreational athletes to make it a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy mom was a big runner and never stretched, and she would get these small injuries,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you have \u201cto get going and can\u2019t stay stretching all day,\u201d she suggests taking time off a run to focus on recovery whether it\u2019s cross training in a swim spa or doing some stretches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just about recovering properly after a big training block. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Important after a big event to give your adrenal system a rest,\u201d Hasay says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a month after a big marathon, Hasay will take between three and six days off. She will follow up with a month of easy  workouts. Among those easy workouts are swims in a swim spa. These help get her body moving  and flush out the legs without getting her heart rate up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving a Portable Spa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The installation of her swim spa is almost a family joke now. At the time, Hasay was living with her dad as she awaited a move to a new house. The property needed a concrete pad, which is the preferred foundation for a swim spa. So she had it poured and scheduled the delivery \u2014 all without consulting her dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a story they both love to tell, smiling as they do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when it came time for Hasay to move, the swim spa needed to be transported to the new house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A swim spa is a portable unit and can be drained and moved to a new property, with the help of your Master Spas retailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen it got craned in, all the neighbors thought it was super cool,\u201d Hasay says. \u201cIt is a new housing area, and I was worried about it not being allowed because it\u2019s an HOA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasay was grateful that she didn\u2019t need to navigate HOA regulations. However, HOAs will often allow swim spas when pools\u00a0 are not allowed because it\u2019s a portable unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
