Talking Swim Spa - I'm IN!

Well, I went from New Guy looking to Dirt Owner this weekend. Just couldn't pass up a beautiful lot (to me) in the new Buttonwood V. Got a year to figure out how to sell my house and start the dream. thanks to all who have posted on this site. Lots of great info.

Question to those that have the Swim/Spa pool. I believe it's a single tub pool, meaning: no seperation of the pool area from the spa area. How do you use it most? I'm concerned that having the water at "hot tub" temp would be too much for using it as a swim workout. Or,

Does the water lose heat fast enough, figure 102 down to 85 or so for a "threadmill" type swim workout. Or,

Maybe you don't heat that much water to Hot Tub temp, too costly?

I could be overthinking the situation. I've seen some models on the internet that have plexiglass dividing the two areas.

Any input?

thanks and see you all in two weeks for another visit.

Carl
