Why Hydropool Swim Spas Are Perfect for Arizona Homeowners: Endless Swimming and Wellness Year-Round
The Growing Popularity of Swim Spas in the Greater Phoenix Area
In Arizona's sunny climate, traditional pools can be expensive to maintain and heat, while public pools get crowded. Hydropool swim spas offer the best of both worlds: a powerful endless swimming current combined with luxurious hot tub seating – all in a compact, energy-efficient package ideal for Phoenix backyards.
At Southwest Spas in Mesa, we're proud to be a premier dealer for Hydropool, the world's leading self-cleaning swim spa brand. These innovative models allow year-round swimming, exercise, relaxation, and family fun without leaving home.
Whether you're a serious swimmer, a family seeking fun, or someone prioritizing wellness, a swim spa fits perfectly into our active desert lifestyle.
Benefit 1: Year-Round Swimming and Fitness Without a Full Pool
Traditional pools in Arizona often go unused in winter or require costly heating. Swim spas provide an adjustable current (up to 6 mph in Hydropool models) for endless swimming – swim in place as long as you want, regardless of weather.
Perfect for triathletes training for Ironman Arizona or casual swimmers staying active. The compact size fits smaller yards common in Scottsdale or Gilbert.
Benefit 2: Low-Impact Exercise and Rehabilitation
Water's buoyancy reduces joint stress by up to 90%, making swim spas ideal for low-impact workouts. Row, run in place, or do resistance exercises with optional tethers and bands.
Great for seniors, post-injury recovery, arthritis management, or anyone seeking gentle cardio. Hydropool's ergonomic designs and zoned therapy jets enhance rehabilitation benefits.
Benefit 3: Family Fun and Entertainment All Year
Swim spas aren't just for exercise – many models feature dedicated hot tub seating with massaging jets for relaxation after swimming.
Kids love playing in the current, families enjoy games, and it's perfect for gatherings without the space or maintenance of a full pool.
Benefit 4: Superior Hydrotherapy and Relaxation
After your swim, switch to hot tub mode for powerful massage jets targeting sore muscles. Hydropool's advanced systems provide zoned therapy for back, legs, and feet – excellent post-workout recovery or daily stress relief.
In Arizona's dry climate, the warm water and steam offer soothing contrast, especially on cooler evenings.
Benefit 5: Self-Cleaning Technology and Low Maintenance
Hydropool's patented self-cleaning system filters 100% of the water multiple times per hour – far superior to traditional pools or basic swim spas. This means less time balancing chemicals and more time enjoying, crucial in our dusty desert environment.
Energy-efficient insulation keeps heating costs low (often $50–$100/month), and easy winterization protects during rare cold snaps.
Benefit 6: Space-Saving and Cost-Effective Alternative to Pools
Swim spas require less space (typically 12–20 ft long), lower installation costs, and easier permitting than inground pools. No need for extensive fencing or large decks.
Many models install above-ground or partially recessed for flexible placement.
