This panel discussion gave our dealers insight into how these athletes are an integral part of the Master Spas family.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the panel discussion, the athletes shared how they use a swim spa by Master Spas to train, recover, and relax in the convenience and safety of their backyard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The H2X Challenger Series swim spas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using a swim spa as a family<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Installing a swim spa at home<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Value of having a swim spa during the pandemic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About H2X Fitness Swim Spas by Master Spas: The Challenger Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The H2X Challenger Series from Master Spas bridges the gap between traditional jetted swim spas and propulsion systems. The unique airless jet system creates a water current that is more efficient, powerful, and smoother than the competition. With the ability to control the resistance and temperature, novice swimmers to competitive triathletes can enjoy a continuous swimming experience that mimics open water. That&#8217;s why swim spas from Master Spas are the official swim spa of the IRONMAN\u00ae World Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>About MasterSpas<\/h2>\nMasterSpas is based in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
