Your Hydropool Swim Spa – An Alternative To The Gym Or Leisure Centre.
A prospective client called recently to say that he was considering replacing his monthly gym and leisure pool membership with a swim spa for his home. He had done the maths and the numbers worked out, but he wanted to know how efficient a swim spa would be - both in terms of the quality of his workout and the energy needed to run one.
1. The Perfect Daily Swim
As far as the quality of your workout, your Hydropool Swim Spa has been designed with physiotherapists & sports professionals.
In many ways, a Swim Spa, by Hydropool, is the perfect way to swim every day.
At the leisure centre’s pool, you lose a degree of workout efficiency every time you reach the end of the pool, have to turn around, touch the side and push off again. With a Swim Spa, there’s none of this – just imagine a swim that lasts for as long as your stamina!! An infinite length!! Focus on your stroke technique, your breathing and enjoy the (pun intended) fluidity of the swim rather than bashing into the side of the pool.
Also, you can set the swim current to the level of your personal swimming capability and so easily alter the intensity of the workout.
Hydropool’s AquaFlo Swim Jet Design generates a wider, deeper, smoother current than any other swim spa and your tank has been designed so that there are no hidden obstacles, like steps or benches for your feet to hit in the swim lane – giving you a far superior swimming experience and more efficient workout.
Plus, every purchase comes with a complete exercise programme specifically designed for your Hydropool Swim spa. Your four-part video series caters for all needs, from beginner to intermediate to advanced, and the cardio section will deliver great results to your fitness levels. Designed for all ages and all fitness levels, the aquatic exercise you will get from your Hydropool Swim Spa will build cardiovascular stamina, strength and flexibility, improve circulation and burn body fat.
Beyond a great cardio workout, your Hydropool Swim Spa can also deliver muscle toning exercise work outs too. Ask us about how to do a chest press or an aquatic bicep curl with tether bands or a shoulder lateral raise with dumbbells all in the warmth and comfort of water heated to your preferred temperature.
Aquatic exercise is non-weight bearing, buoyancy prevents joint stress, your Hydropool Swim Spa provides the perfect low impact exercise solution for achieving great fitness results.
2. Hygiene – As Clean As The Most Exclusive Health Club Pool
The great thing about a swimming pool at a leisure centre or health club is that you know the water is hygienic. There are strict rules about this and the water is tested regularly to ensure compliance.
The good news is that this peace of mind has been designed into your Hydropool Swim Spa too. They’re called “Self Cleaning Swim Spas” for a reason!
All Hydropool hot tubs and swim spas filter 100% of the water in just 15 minutes. Not only does this mean that the Hot Tub or Swim Spa does not have to be operating as long to filter the same amount of water as other hot tubs, it also means that the water in your Swim Spa is as clean as the water at the most exclusive health club.
Furthermore, Hydropool hot tubs and swim spas have one of the most energy efficient filtration systems in the world.
3. Setting The Standard for Efficiency
Hydropool are ranked in the top 3 spa manufacturers in the world for energy efficiency and stand-by wattage use, indeed, Hydropool were among the first spa manufacturers to be approved under strict California Energy Commission regulations!
The technology in your Hydropool Swim Spa is inspired by NASA, Triple Thermal Shield Technology (pipes, cabinet and floor) work together to retain heat. The reflective foil side of the Thermal Shield reflects the heat back into the hot tub or swim spa and the black side of the Thermal Shield and pipe insulation is designed to absorb heat.
Then, the insulating, heavy duty, hard cover locks in this heat. The cover is 4 inches thick at the centre, tapering to 3 inches at the edges to allow rain run-off. Heat and energy efficiency is designed into the DNA of every Hydropool, but then they are designed for Canadian winters where temperatures can drop as low as -40°c!!
4. The Full Service

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to run a home swimming pool?
Most home swimming pools have a number of costs associated with installation, maintenance, and yearly bill, and on average could cost you up to £500 a month for upkeep. There are a number of things you should consider when buying an at-home swimming pool:
Electricity Costs: A typical pool pump runs for about 8 hours a day, consuming a significant amount of energy. Depending on your local electricity rates, this can add up to £600-£1,200 annually.
Water Heating: If you want to extend your swimming season, heating your pool becomes necessary. This can be one of the most expensive aspects, often adding £300-£500 per month, depending on your climate.
Chemical Maintenance: Balancing the pH, sanitising, and other chemical needs can cost £300-£800 annually.
Water Usage: Pools lose water through evaporation, and you'll need to refill regularly, especially in warmer climates. This adds to your water bill by about £100-£400 a year.
Cleaning and Maintenance: Routine cleaning and servicing are essential to keep your pool in top shape. If you hire professionals, this could be an additional £1,200-£2,000 per year.
When you add it all up, the yearly cost to run a home swimming pool can easily range from £2,500 to £5,000 or more. And that’s not considering the time and effort you’ll spend on regular upkeep.
Why a Hydropool Swim Spa is a Cost-Effective Alternative
If those figures seem overwhelming, there’s a more efficient, enjoyable, and budget-friendly option: a Hydropool Swim Spa.
Energy Efficiency: Hydropool swim spas are designed with energy efficiency in mind, utilising advanced insulation and low-energy pumps. This can dramatically reduce your electricity costs compared to a traditional pool.
Year-Round Enjoyment: Unlike a standard pool that may only be usable for part of the year, a Hydropool swim spa is perfect for all seasons, saving you on heating costs by maintaining an optimal temperature efficiently.
Lower Chemical and Water Costs: With a smaller water volume and cutting-edge filtration systems, you’ll spend far less on chemicals and water refills. Hydropool’s self-cleaning technology even reduces the need for frequent water changes.
Minimal Maintenance: The design of a Hydropool swim spa minimises the need for manual cleaning and professional maintenance, saving you both time and money.
Versatility and Space Efficiency: Not only does a swim spa provide a space for relaxation and exercise, but it also takes up less space in your backyard and can be installed at a fraction of the cost of a traditional pool.
Why Pay More for Less?
While a traditional home swimming pool may seem like the ultimate luxury, the ongoing costs can be daunting. A Hydropool swim spa, on the other hand, offers year-round enjoyment, lower running costs, and a more sustainable way to experience the benefits of swimming and hydrotherapy—all without the hefty price tag of pool ownership.
Investing in a Hydropool swim spa means you’re not just saving money in the long run, but also enhancing your lifestyle with a versatile, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance solution. Why settle for more expenses and less convenience when you can have it all with a Hydropool swim spa?
