Imagine owning a pool that went on forever – that allowed you to swim and swim without ever needing to turn around. Now imagine that pool actually measured just a few metres long – small enough to fit in almost any Aussie backyard.
Imagine no longer, because that’s the reality of owning a Fastlane Pools swim spa.
Fastlane Pools introduced the concept of a swim spa in 1984. Over the subsequent decades the technology has been constantly improved and refined, resulting in a modern machine that offers an absolutely incredible (and energy efficient) swim-in-place experience, as well as a whole lot more.
Why buy a swim spa? Here are just a few of the most compelling reasons.
A truly infinite swim
Fastlane Pools swim spas feature a powerful propulsion system at one end, designed to create a strong, steady and fully adjustable current that is wider than your body, deeper than your stroke, and perfectly smooth. Set your speed, and you can swim for as long as you want without ever having to turn around – this is a 100% tumble turn-free zone.
The propulsion system featured in our premier E-Series collection produces a current so smooth that it’s almost impossible to tell that you’re swimming against moving water – close your eyes and you might as well be swimming in a lake or the open ocean!
And with the hydraulically powered system capable of moving up to 19,000L of water every minute, the intensity of your workout is in your hands, ranging from a slow and steady doggy paddle up to an almost Olympic 1:14/100m.
A total aqua fitness machine
Fastlane Pools swim spas offer more than just swimming – they are complete aqua fitness machines. By adding the right accessories, the powerful, smooth and adjustable current can be utilised in any number of ways to help you achieve your fitness and body goals.
There’s the underwater treadmill that grants you the ability to walk, jog, run or sprint minus the heavy impacts of dry land exercise. This offers an unbeatable cardio workout to a wider range of people, including those who find traditional running or jogging uncomfortable, or simply can’t do it anymore.
The water rower delivers an amazing upper body workout. The Aquabike brings the fun of a spin class to the water. And the swim tether and resistance bands help to ratchet up the intensity of any exercise.
Rehabilitation and recovery
A Fastlane Pools swim spa is more than a water-filled home gym: it’s your warm-up and cool down area too. Loosening muscles and joints before exercise is critical, as is dealing with lactic acid build-up afterwards. A gentle swim or a luxurious hydromassage session can be the ideal way to prepare for or recover from a workout.
A Fastlane Pools swim spa is the ideal machine for longer-term rehab and recovery too. The warm water increases the amount of nutrient-rich blood pumped around your body, helping it to repair itself after an injury or a bout of illness.
Hydrotherapy at home
Hydrotherapy is an incredibly valuable form of therapy for a wide range of people: the elderly, people with limited mobility, those who suffer from chronic pain. The problem is many people don’t have a hydrotherapy centre close-by – they need to travel long distances to access the treatment, if indeed they have any access at all.
A Fastlane Pools swim spa places hydrotherapy in your own backyard, just steps from your door. Water can be set to the ideal hydrotherapy temperature (~34-35C), then a gentle current can be applied to offer resistance during hydrotherapy exercises.
Between the warmth and the buoyancy of the water, your body is given the ideal conditions to manage chronic pain and symptoms, and by using your swim spa regularly, you could potentially regain movement and increase mobility.
Relaxation and self-care
It’s right there in the name: as good as a swim spa is for swimming, it’s just as good for enjoying a luxurious spa session where your stresses and strains melt away.
Every single Fastlane Pools swim spa features expertly crafted, strategically placed hydromassage jets that are designed to sweep tension and anxiety away. All but one of our models come with dedicated hot tub seating, and the two largest even have completely separate hot tub sections!
This means that your Fastlane Pools swim spa is every bit as valuable on those rest days when your body is given a chance to recover from all that water-based activity. It’s an ideal place to enjoy a tranquil solo escape: pour some bubbles in a (plastic) flute and lower yourself into self-care heaven.
Fun with the ones you love
Why buy a swim spa, beyond the endless reasons listed above? If you have a family, it can be the ideal place to connect and make memories together.
A Fastlane Pools swim spa is a device- and distraction-free zone; a place where you can spend true quality time with loved ones, from intimate evenings with your partner to fun-filled weekends with your kids. You can make your swim spa the hub of your home – a place where you and your family enjoy a regular soak and catch-up.
And for all you social butterflies, a Fastlane Pools swim spa has an unbeatable ability to draw a crowd. There’s room for everyone, so why not invite friends and extended family around? Just be aware that you probably won’t have many people declining!
