Afterall, a swim spa is an investment in your home, health, and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news? For most owners, the answer is a resounding yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this Facebook Live replay, Master Spas pros Ben Gilliam and Mari Cuticelli shares some of the most surprising things about owning and using a swim spa. From how often people actually get in the water to unexpected health benefits, you&#8217;ll get an honest look at what to expect after installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading bluetitlesm\">You&#8217;ll use it more than you expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to a traditional backyard pool, which is used an average of just 16 times a year, swim spa owners enjoy their spa around 180 times annually. Why the difference? Year-round use, easy access, and comfortable water temperatures make it simple to enjoy your swim spa regularly. Whether you&#8217;re swimming laps in the middle of summer or relaxing in warm water during the winter, it&#8217;s always ready when you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading bluetitlesm\">Health benefits that might surprise you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Swim spas aren&#8217;t just for swimming. The buoyancy of the water reduces the impact on your joints, making exercise easier and more comfortable \u2014 especially if you have mobility issues or aches and pains. At the same time, you still get a great cardiovascular workout. Plus, the built-in therapy jets can help ease sore muscles, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading bluetitlesm\">Easier water care than you think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people assume a swim spa will be difficult to maintain. With a consistent routine, though, water care is straightforward. Keeping your spa covered when it&#8217;s not in use helps protect water quality, and a few minutes of maintenance each week can keep your spa clean and clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading bluetitlesm\">You don&#8217;t have to be a strong swimmer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You love the idea of swimming for exercise. However, you&#8217;re not the fastest person in the water, and you&#8217;re not sure you need a Challenger model. Whether you learned to swim as an adult or haven&#8217;t been in the water for a while, you still have plenty of options. Trainer Series swim spas are great for recreational swimming and water exercise. Challenger Series swim spas are built for swimming in place, with plenty of space to help you build confidence, refine your stroke, or simply relax in the water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most common questions people have when they&#8217;re thinking about buying a swim spa is, &#8220;Will I really use it as much as I think I will?&#8221; It&#8217;s an important consideration when shopping for a backyard pool spa.
