Swim Spas For Triathletes

Swim spas come in many shapes and sizes.

It can be tricky to determine which one is going to be worth your investment, so we’ve put forward our thoughts and recommendations below.

Below you’ll find our best suggestions for those that are focused on training, as well as for those that are also wanting a social feature.

Are you an athlete looking for a training tool?

A single zone swim spa is a great option if you aren’t interested in having a separate hot tub section. You will save on space as well as energy costs.
You can only heat one body of water with a single zone spa. Swimming temperature will be lower than bathing temperature. Worth noting in case your partner or family member wants to relax in the tub whilst you swim!
Check the spa has enough space. Most single zone swim spas are over 4m in length which is over 13ft. This will be suitable for most people to swim at full extension in front-crawl.
Can you adjust the speed? Make sure your swim spa can accommodate the fastest pace you’re looking to achieve.

A dual zone swim spa has two sections that can be heated independently. This is perfect if you want to train whilst others use the hot tub.
Dual zone swim spas are long and wide (typically over 5.7m in length and 2m in width), providing plenty of room to swim and relax.
Check the power input of your dual zone swim spa. Can it sustain hot tub use whilst the swim spa is in operation?
Can you adjust the speed? Control panel speed adjustments make it easy to switch up your workout.
