SwimSpa

Perhaps your backyard is in dire need of a transformation or your family is looking for a new way to spend time together. Or maybe you are looking for an investment in your property that will improve your overall quality of life. Whatever your motivation, our experts at Finesse Wellness may have the solution for you. In this article we take a closer look at the many benefits of Platinum Spas SwimSpas.

1. Spa Benefits

Most swim spas are equipped with the same features as a hot tub. This includes lighting, jets, ergonomic seats and control panels. In fact, most larger swim spas even have a separate section that mimics a hot tub and offers a double experience. Swim spa owners can experience total relaxation, reduce stress, improve their sleep patterns, relieve pain and even heal after an injury. Not to mention how your social life can benefit too!

2. Pool Benefits

Swim spas are equipped with a long and narrow tank, similar to that of a swimming pool, but on a smaller scale. This open concept tank is large enough to provide many of the benefits that swimming pools provide. Most swim spas are also equipped with a powerful jet system at the end, which can create a stream of water powerful enough for users to walk, jog or swim against. This added resistance can allow you to swim in place, eliminating the need to swim from one end of the pool to the other for training and/or recreation.

3. Water Therapy

Hydrotherapy, also known as aquatherapy, is a water-based therapy practiced all over the world. Hydrotherapy can help patients recovering from a physical injury to heal faster and enjoy a higher quality of life afterwards. Aquatic therapy uses a combination of temperature, buoyancy and massage to help patients achieve its many health benefits, along with improving blood circulation and the natural production of positive endorphins. Hydrotherapy is also used to help patients suffering from aches, pains and/or arthritis, among other things, stretch their muscles, soothe their joints, improve flexibility and mobility, among many other benefits. Before using hydrotherapy as an aid to your physical health, we strongly recommend that you speak with a healthcare provider first to ensure your best health.

4. Health benefits

Regular soaking in a swim spa can provide several health benefits, including:

- Improved sleep

- Relieves muscle tension

- Less stress- Weight loss/maintenance

- Soothes arthritic joints

- Improved recovery after injury

Spending time in a swim spa can even help improve your mental and emotional health. By taking the time to relax alone or catch up with loved ones, you will find yourself feeling less stressed, happier and more at ease.

5. Swimming lessons

Do you find it exciting to take your kids to a public pool for swimming lessons? Or maybe you don't have a pool nearby to help them learn how to swim? For health and safety reasons, it is imperative in our modern society to have basic swimming skills, not to mention the doors it can open for work on the road. Lucky for you, a swim spa can provide a more controlled environment to help your kids learn the basics of swimming. Just help them get used to the water, learn how to step and gradually progress to using the powerful jet system to create a water current to swim against.

6. Compact size

Could you and your family benefit greatly from the addition of a swimming pool or combination pool and hot tub, but you don't have enough space in the backyard? Then the installation of a swim spa might be the solution you've been looking for! Most swim spas are about 1/3 the size of an average swimming pool, meaning one can easily be installed in most backyards with room to spare!

7. Backyard Improvement

Elevate the aesthetics, functionality and value of your backyard with a complete swim spa setup! By installing an above-ground or in-ground swim spa, you may be motivated to give your backyard the transformation it deserves. Consider some of the following upgrades:

- Deck and/or terrace installation - Barbecue

- Landscape design

- Fire pit or fire table

- Outdoor lighting

How do you create an outdoor paradise in your backyard? We work closely with gardeners company Jan Odink. Because we each have our specialisms and work well together, we can completely unburden you and convert your garden into a real wellness paradise.

8. Exercise

The water in a swim spa can provide a much more comfortable and enjoyable environment for low-impact exercise. The buoyancy of the water will help lift about 90% of your body's weight, giving your muscles and joints a newfound sense of freedom. With the weight of the world lifted quite literally off your shoulders, your body can move freely while in the water, performing many movements that would otherwise have been uncomfortable or painful on dry land. In addition, the water adds resistance, making you move a little slower than on dry land. This resistance can help improve the effectiveness of your workout, and chances are you won't even notice it. The cool, refreshing water is all you need to avoid feeling overworked, tired or sweaty.

9. Use all year round

One of the biggest benefits of a swim spa is that it can be used 365 days a year. You can adjust the temperature accordingly with the advanced control panel, so that the water stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

10. Convenience

Forget about using the public pool for an enjoyable swim! With your own swim spa, you can enjoy a relaxing bath or refreshing swim at your leisure. That means if you're having a stressful day and need to get rid of your worries, all you need to do is put on a bathing suit and head to the backyard!
