Your experience is similar to a lot I read about many swim spa brands. The MIhcael Phelps Momentum swimspa that ha the propulsion jets allows you to adjust it to whatever your abililty is thus eliminating getting knocked out by the jets. I am not a swimmer but my husband does know how to swim, so we needed a swimspa with a range of options and this choice had the best reviews to mitigate exactly what people have issues with in regard tother makes and models. I think it is worth checking out the Phelps product line of swimspas.
