Stationary swimming helps improve endurance and allows for a customizable swim experience.

There are several types of swim systems available, including swim jets and propulsion. The best swim spa for your space will depend on your lifestyle, needs, and swim ability. Competitive swimmers might prefer a Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spa or the H2X Challenger Pro. The H2X Challenger series is ideal for triathletes and people who regularly swim. Recreational swimmers will benefit from the Trainer series.
