Swim spa question

[starflyte1]

Would someone please describe a swim spa as sold in TV? Does it have jets? How deep?
I want a pool, but think that a swim spa, if deep enough, might be ok.

Thanks,
Pat

Good question - I've seen many homes with these for sale - They are about 15 feet in length (my guess)? I think they are like the ones advertised on tv where they have a 'current of water' that you can swim against for exercise. They come with heat and lights and other jets for therapeutic reasons like a hot tub. Don't know how deep but I can't imagine that they are more than 4 feet.

Someone on the site should know someone in TV who has one.

Just Google "swim spas". There are many makes... Swimex.com and endlesspools.com are 2 popular brands

Pat,
I've been checking into swimspas also.
Here's the best deals I've found,
also the description of the jets, depth, etc.
Don't know what the installation costs would be tho.

But scroll down and look at some of the others with built in TV's, etc...

Thanks for the link! I like to do a lot of research before the time comes to buy. We are still trying to decide between a villa and house. Pat
