Swim Spas

Start swimming.  Get healthy.

Swimming is simply one of the best ways to stay fit. It’s good for the heart and gentle on the joints so consider these three swim options from Great Bay Spa and Sauna.

Hydropool Swim Spas

Imagine having the benefits of a large conventional pool in a mini version that is easy to install. You can swim, jog or exercise in place never having to turn. When finished with exercise you can then relax in one of two jetted hydrotherapy seats.

Hydropool Aquatrainer and Aquaplay Swim Spas are fun are all ages. They are shallow enough for most children and non-swimmers yet deep enough to satisfy most users looking for serious exercise. All Hydropool swim spas are factory plumbed and are relatively easy to install. Since they are smaller then a conventional pool they will fit into a backyard patio or deck as well as an inside porch or solarium. With a smaller size they require less chemicals to maintain and much less energy to heat. In fact all Hydropool swim spas are insulated at the factory with a layer of insulating foam on the backside of the interior acrylic surface. Combined with a rigid insulating cover, they cost just a fraction of what a pool would cost to heat and can be enjoyed outdoors year round even in cold climates. Swim spas by Hydropools just give you more options:

• • In-ground: can be partially or fully installed inground with a decorative surround of your choice.
• • Above-ground: can be fit on a patio or into a new or existing deck with an optional cedar cabinet.
• • Indoors: Perfect for a sunroom, solarium or porch.

Whether you are swimming alone, enjoying relaxing in warm water, or playing with the kids, a Hydropool Aquatrainer or Aquaplay Swim Spa will bring years of enjoyment for the whole family.

Two Hydropool Models: Aquaplay and Aquatrainer

Aquaplay

The Aquaplay delivers most of the features of the Aquatrainer at an affordable price. Like the Aquatrainer it comes in either a 14' of a 17" length with a 7'9" width. The value packed into an Aquaplay requires only one pump to operate the two massage seats. For swimming in place the Aquaplay incorporates an Aqua swim-in-place harness.

Aquatrainer

The Aquatrainer is built to the same size specifications as the Aquaplay and is geared more towards the active swimmer. It is equipped with a variable resistant adjustable swim current. The two multi hydrotherapy massage seats have more jet combinations than the Aquaplay. The Aquatrainer is a pool, hot tub and gym all-in-one.

Aquatrainer IX

The worlds first self cleaning swim spa is an ideal universal aquatic gym with a generous swim tank area that allows for a variety of fitness exercises.

Aquatrainer FX

The self cleaning aquatrainer FX is a family pool, hot tub and aquatic gym all-in-one providing a great training center for the individual athlete who still wants to stay in touch with their family.

Introducing the Fastlane

The average home pool is a great place to cool off, splash around and socialize, but not for swimming and exercise — six or eight strokes brings you to the end where you have to turn and start over.

The Fastlane is a swim current generator for your swimming pool regardless of the pool’s size. It is similar to a treadmill, that allows you to swim for miles without moving an inch. Easily installed in virtually any pool, the Fastlane creates a smooth current that is wider than your body and deeper than your stroke. Ideal for swimming, aquatic exercise, and rehabilitation, the Fastlane makes exercise easy and fun.

The unique Fastlane system produces a non-turbulent current that can be set to a speed to suit any swimming or exercise ability. Anyone can learn to use the Fastlane in moments regardless of age or fitness level. The Fastlane’s highest speed challenges the best competitive swimmer, yet the current can easily be adjusted to suit the beginner and everyone in between.

How the Fastlane Works

Our Wall Mount Fastlane fastens directly to the pool wall and is ideal for new construction. Our Deck Mount Fastlane hangs from the side of the pool much like a pool ladder and can be retrofitted to an existing pool. The system has two parts: a remotely located hydraulic power unit that powers the Fastlane and Fastlane Swim Unit that mounts in the pool. These components are connected by two hydraulic hoses designed to keep electricity far away from the water.

The poolside Fastlane Swim Unit utilizes a waterproof hydraulic motor that turns a custom-designed 16" propeller. An innovative channeling system straightens and smoothes the swim current. The rugged 5 horsepower Power Unit can be located with your other pool equipment. The Fastlane comes with 5 gallons of non-food grade, biodegradable vegetable oil to supply the Power Unit system.

Endless Personal Pools

If you’re interested in adding a customizable personal pool to your backyard, home gym or existing ground-floor space in your home, consider an Endless Pool personal swim spa.  A personal pool can be installed in a fraction of the space needed for a traditional pool and gives you the ability to swim year-round.  Use it for training, aquatic exercise or therapy.

The Endless Pool features an adjustable current that allows you to swim or exercise in place. The current is broad and deep, and is suitable to every swimming ability and fitness need. For aquatic therapy and relaxation, you can also set the temperature precisely, based on preferences and needs.

We often recommend Endless pool to the serious swimmer.  Perhaps you are a retired athlete that still wants to keep up a rigorous workout.  We’re sure you’ll find the hydraulic current produced by the Endless Pool system truly challenging. 

• • The Endless Pools kit comes complete with everything needed for swimming or exercise.
• • All parts of the kit can fit through doorways as narrow as 24 inches, making it ideal for installations in existing spaces like basements and garages.
• • The width, length and depth of the swimming pool can be customized to your specific needs.
• • The entire Endless Pools system has been ETL listed after passing rigorous tests for electrical and other safety standards.
• • Because of the innovative Water Quality System, the swimming pool is virtually odor free, even indoors.

How the Endless Pool Works

The heart of the Endless Pool is a small but powerful underwater hydraulic motor that drives a 16” propeller located at the front of the pool inside a protective, stainless-steel housing. The propeller pushes up to 5,000 gallons of water per minute through two grills that straighten and smooth the current, which then flows right down the center of the pool.  At the rear of the pool, the current enters a large grill beneath the rear bench. The return current passes through the benches to the front of the pool.  Because the water returns through the benches, it does not disturb the current moving down the center of the pool, thus eliminating any turbulence or undertows.
