The very first question you may need to answer is how much space you have for a swim spa. If you have a tight space then going for the small-sized swim spas, around 10 feet long and 7 feet width, will be the right choice for you. The small-sized spas are solely made for aquatic therapy and not much for exercise because of the space constraints.
Swim spa manufacturers provide multiple swim spa sizes, but which will suit your family can only be determined by some conditions.
You need to consider the number of family members who are going to use the swim spa. If the answer is going to be 1 or 2 members, then you can go for small swim spas (11 feet), but if you have kids or will have friends over then, you should go for a larger swim spa around 17 or 19 feet long. This way, they will get more room to move around and play. It would be best if you also consider the height of people going to use the swim spa. A 6 feet person will not have enough space to swim in a medium-sized spa, so go for 18 or 19 feet sized spa.
Now, the next question you need to ask is whether you’re buying a swim spa forfitness or relaxation. If you’re planning to relax, then go for swim spas that have hydrotherapy jets and if more people are going to use then buy a swim spa that comes with 4 seats in the hot tub area. If maintaining your fitness is your goal, then buy swim spas that provide laminar current and resistance against swimming. You can also upgrade the swim spa with an underwater treadmill and other optional resistant equipment, as discussed above.
When you finally have an answer to the above conditions, you can narrow down to the best swim spa that meets all your needs and requirements.
Trying out the swim spa is the perfect way to know which one is right for you. Most swim spa dealers offer ‘wet tests’ where you can come to the store and try out the swim spa yourself.
