The 4 Remarkable Health Benefits of Swim Spas

Swim spas have become extremely popular in the fitness community.

If you’re interested in the recreational possibilities of a swimming pool, but simply don’t have the space, or maybe a pool is a little out of your budget, a swim spa might just be the perfect solution for you.

They offer a great way to keep your body in shape, while at the same time offering you the relaxation that a hot tub would.

Following are some of the remarkable health benefits you can get if you have a swim spa in your home.

1. Spa Exercises

It is a known fact that swimming is a great form of exercise. It helps to burn excess calories, shed extra weight, and tone your entire body, as it’s a full-body workout.

Although, some exercises can be tweaked to focus on certain parts of the body, such as your arms or abdominals.

Some of our favorite swim spa exercises include:

• Squats
• Lunges
• Reverse crunches
• Jogging in place
• Modified push-ups
• Flutter kicks

Not only does the open-concept section of the tank allow for a range of beneficial exercises, but most modern swim spas, including those from the PDC Swim Spas brand, feature an integrated jetting system.

This high-powered jet is placed at the end of the swim spa and creates a current strong enough for the user to walk, swim, or jog against. The resistance that the current provides is more than enough for you to burn those extra calories and stay in shape!

2. Relaxation

Having a swim spa in your home provides you with a place where you can relax at the end of a tiring day and give your body the much-needed break it deserves. You don’t necessarily have to exercise in the swim spa, you can just enjoy some relaxing time in it and enjoy a small break from your routine life.

This relaxation can have a huge impact on your overall quality of life. Not only can it help you to do just that, relax, but it can also help to reduce stress, improve sleep patterns, ease anxiety, and even aid in weight maintenance.

Some say that a PDC swim spa is like the perfect hybrid between a swimming pool and hot tub. At one end of the spa is a comfortable seating area, fully-equipped with powerful jets, ergonomic seating, a modern control panel, and many other features that a hot tub would offer.

Some of the higher-quality swim spas will even have this section separated from the rest of the spa, which enables a dual-temperature experience. This means that the seating area can be nice and warm, while the tank area is kept a little cooler.

3. Recreation

Swim spas can also be used for recreational purposes. You can play games with your friends or kids in the swim spa and even teach children how to swim. You could even include your swim spa as a part of your next social gathering or summer backyard party.

The kind of installation that you create can have a big impact on functionality and aesthetic. You can choose from an indoor, outdoor, in-ground, or above-ground installation, and then further tweak it to meet your needs.

The social aspect of your swim spa installation combined with the atmosphere that you create with your installation can absolutely have an impact on your health. The social interactions you can have with loved ones can have a wonderful impact on both your mental and emotional health.

Not to mention all of the amazing memories you can make having fun in the crystal-clear water.

4. Tones and Strengthens Muscles

As mentioned above, swimming provides a whole-body workout that is both comfortable and beneficial. Not only will this regular exercise help you in weight maintenance endeavors, but it can also help to make your body stronger.

As you regularly work the various parts of your body, slowly adding more and more resistance and increasing the challenge for you, your body is bound to change.

Building a stronger and healthier body has so many amazing health benefits in its own, from cardiovascular health and endurance, to a reduced risk of arthritis, diabetes, obesity, and so much more, you’ll also experience a boost in confidence.

Feeling great and feeling even better about yourself is something you just cannot put a price on.
