Everyone loves to swim! But when the weather is bad or the community pool is too crowded, there’s an alternative.
Meet the swim spa, the amazing machine that provides lap swimming, aquatic fitness, and more from the comfort and convenience of indoors.
Here’s how to swim all year long with a lap pool at home.
Compact Space Offers Indoor Swimming
The beauty of the swim spa is its size. If you have an enclosed patio, converted garage, or area in your home dedicated to working out, the swim spa is a great match! Use it during winter, when it’s raining, or even when the sun is too hot.
Design the Perfect Aquatic Fitness Routine
Far more than just swimming, the modern swim spa can be equipped with a variety of cardiovascular-enhancing accessories. Tone your arms and legs while building a strong heart with rowing bars or resistance bands.
Keep the Kids Entertained
The defining feature of the swim spa is a continuous current. This makes it easy to swim in place and never hit the wall. But the other use for an adjustable current is to create waves. Keep them busy and off devices and get peace of mind that they’re safe and having fun complements of your swim spa.
So Go Ahead, Take a Swim, You Deserve it!
It’s fast, fun, and relaxing. Not only that, it’s good for the body, soothes the mind, and can improve your overall health and well-being.

EMS Dad: Endless Pools® Helped My Kids Develop Water Safety Skills
It all started when Ryan sent this message via Facebook:
"Hey, Endless Pools! Last year, we put a Fastlane® Pro in our new pool. Both my kids knew how to swim but lacked confidence. Now, my 6-year-old can dive [video below], and my 7-year-old can swim like a guppy. I am a career EMS dad, and I see the danger of swimming yearly. This year, I can finally breathe a bit knowing my kids' confidence has grown considerably."
When you work for the Emergency Medical Service, peace of mind doesn't come easily. Ryan sees the painful, even fatal results of many situations every day that he's on duty. According to the Centers for Disease Control, there are an average of 10 drowning deaths a day in the United States, and that doesn't include boating-related drownings.
Thanks to the Endless Pools® Fastlane® Pro current system, he now breathes a little more easily. The Fastlane Pro system puts Endless Pools' signature adjustable current in almost any traditional backyard pool. The Fastlane Pro current adjusts for all swimming levels (and it can be used for exercise and relaxation too!).
He's not the first to use the Fastlane Pro current to help develop lifesaving aquatic skills. In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the local YMCA responded to one summer's drownings by installing an Endless Pools Fastlane Pro unit in their indoor pool the following summer. They now use the Fastlane Pro's adjustable current to simulate rip currents and teach water-safety skills to the area's school children.
IMPROVING SKILLS WITH THE FASTLANE PRO
Before his kids had home access to the Fastlane Pro, Ryan recalls, "We did swim lessons with them for four years, pretty much all summer. We would take them to the public pool as much as we could. My wife swam on the junior team into high school, and she worked with them a lot."
But without the Fastlane, their smaller backyard pool presented some challenges. "It's really hard to evaluate a kid swimming in three strokes. You're trying to teach a six-year-old the proper way to turn their head while doing freestyle," he says, "but it's really hard when the pool is eight-feet wide!"
He said that Endless Pools "totally" gave them an advantage. "With the Fastlane [Pro], you turn it on three steps above low, and they just kick in place in front of you. You can just say, 'Turn. Freeze. Good.' It turns something that's normally dynamic into something that's static." By allowing their two kids to swim in place, Ryan discovered, "We had them both dialed in. We really just worked with them on their technique."
As many swim coaches discover, swimming in place with Endless Pools can greatly speed progress. Ryan says that he saw improvements in his kids' swimming skills in "a week and a half, two weeks.
"We were impressed. I also think that having that constant current was able to make them slightly stronger." And that's a bonus that many swimmers find: without being interrupted by flip turns, they can greatly develop their swimming endurance with Endless Pools. "I think that added a little advantage to it," he notes.
FITNESS & THERAPY FOR ADULTS
The pool is in his parents' home, where Ryan and his family currently reside. "He couldn't put in a very big pool," Ryan notes, "so he wanted something to extend the life of the pool." He chose the Fastlane Pro to permit swimming in place and create resistance for therapy and fitness exercises.
"We built the pool 40 feet long and about 10 feet wide. The 6-feet deep section is where we have the Fastlane. It's amazing," he finds.
"I use it for exercise three to four times a week. My dad uses it for exercise nearly every day. So does my mom." Ryan's dad is recovering from a broken neck, while his mom "has multiple medical conditions."
For Ryan, swimming is also therapeutic. "I've had two back surgeries. I've had six knee surgeries." The knee surgeries "came from high school, playing soccer; I got hit in a tackle, and I broke my leg in six places." The back surgeries followed a freak accident on the job; he was moving a 550-pound patient when the gurney's breaks failed! As a result, he now reports, "Swimming really is the best way I can stay in shape.
"I'm just working on cardio, so I do freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke. I try to make sure I can do some endurance shredding. I like to work out at least half an hour in the current.
"We do have free weights and weight bands. My dad and wife use the free weights, my mom uses the bands. They all do several different types of lifting exercises."
THE THREE-SEASON POOL
Endless Pools swim spas and modular pools are compact and offer a variety of options for insulation; as a result, they can be used year-round, even outdoors, in many climates.
Where Ryan's family lives, near Sacramento, California, their in-ground pool is "heated solar, and we keep that going until October. We don’t use it during the winter," he notes. "This year, we reopened it the very end of May."
Of course, the kids look forward to the day the pool opens! "Both of my kids grew up swimming at a very early age. They're in the water two hours a day most days. We give them half an hour to chill, then homework and chores, and then they get in the pool and swim till dinner."
In an era when many parents complain about their kids spending too much time in front of computer screens, having kids so eager to swim is a welcome habit. And for this EMS dad, their in-ground pool with an Endless Pools Fastlane Pro also gives him peace of mind.

With health and fitness prioritized, many of us are looking into new strategies for feeling great. For long-lasting weight loss, easy strength training, and more, the swim spa delivers.
Here are three reasons why it may be time to optimize health with a swim spa at home.
Cardiovascular Exercise Made Easy
Swimming laps is one of the best activities for maintaining health and wellness. It’s one of the few exercises that engage all the muscles in the body at once in a safe, low-impact environment. A swim spa is an excellent alternative if you don’t have room for a traditional swimming pool at home.
Water is Buoyant for Pain-Free Movement
When arthritis or damaged joints make traditional exercise difficult or painful, the swim spa delivers. Water is naturally buoyant, making it easy to stretch, swim and engage in a variety of aquatic activities without strain or discomfort.
Boost Your Mood Naturally
With a swim spa at home, anytime you need a quick pick me up or a mental boost, you can get it. Slipping into the water increases the body’s natural production of endorphins, or feel-good hormones, increasing positivity and optimism.
So Go Ahead, Take a Swim, You Deserve it!
It’s fast, fun, and relaxing. Not only that, it’s good for the body, soothes the mind, and can improve your overall health and well-being.

Meet the swim spa – the modern family’s answer to health and entertainment. Less expensive than a traditional pool, but with all the benefits and more, a swim spa at home makes sense.
Here are 3 ways a swim spa is a smart family investment.
Year-Round Fitness and Fun
A swim spa offers something unique that not even the highest quality pool can – indoor, year-round use. That’s right. The modern swim spa is compact enough to be placed inside your home on an enclosed patio or in an enclosed garage.
An Aquatic Gym and Lap Pool
The swim spa is known for its continuous swimming current, but you can do more than swim. Use an underwater treadmill for cardiovascular conditioning, or equip your swim spa with resistance bands or rowing bars for easy strength training in a cushioned, buoyant environment.
A Budget-Friendly Addition
The swim spa is far more affordable than the upfront cost of a traditional in-ground swimming pool. A fantastic value for the entire family, swim, exercise, and play in one machine that’s easy to run and operate all year long.
So Go Ahead, Take a Swim, You Deserve it!
It’s fast, fun, and relaxing. Not only that, it’s good for the body, soothes the mind, and can improve your overall health and well-being.
