Fitness, relaxation and fun, all in one

swim spas - the benefits
For Fitness
Riptide Swim Spas can form an important part
of the day to day fitness regime of anyone who
wants to stay in good shape.
Unlike other forms of exercise, swimming against
the force of the swim spa’s powerful countercurrent
will quickly tone up your body in a low
impact environment.
For Relaxation
Being more compact than standard swimming
pools, our swim spas can be installed where
space is at a premium, either in-ground or above
ground.
Thermostatically controlled up to 40°C, after your
swim just lay back and relax in the warm, clear
water with family and friends.
For Family Fun
Hydros
Requiring very little cleaning, Riptide Swim Spas
incorporate cutting-edge filtration and sanitising
systems, ensuring a clean and safe pool
experience for you and your family every time
you take a dip.
With an easy to remove insulated lid and
insulation all round the shell of our swim spas,
heat is trapped in and so running costs are
kept low.
Introducing the world’s most versatile swim spas
choosing the right swim spa
Swim Spa with one volume of water
Spas with counter currents in one volume of water
are very popular, mainly because you can move
from the spa end to the counter current end without
getting out. Many of these spas can seat up to five or
six people plus a swimmer.
With one volume of water, the water temperature is
the same for those relaxing and swimming. If you
wish to have the water temperature different for both
activities consider a swim spa with two volumes
of water.
Swim Spa with two volumes of water
The hot tub and counter current swimming pool is
in one unit but with two separate volumes of water
which is a better option for serious swimming. With
independent heating controls in each end, adjust the
swimming end temperature down to 28°C so you can
exercise without getting too hot.
When you want to rest, move over into the hot tub
end which can be adjusted up to 40°C and relax in
much warmer water. The two separate ends also
have independent filtration and the insulated cover
allows you to open either end independently.
Dedicated Exercise Pool
Dedicated exercise pools are designed purely for
swimming. There are no seats or hydrotherapy jets,
making its sole purpose exercise. These pools are
deeper and offer a superb swim experience with wide
mouth, high power, turbulence free counter-current jets.
To complement your dedicated exercise pool you can
choose a hot tub, which can be colour matched and
positioned in your garden to suit your requirements.

Riptide swim spas fall into three main
categories - which one is right for you?
Hydros
Poseidon
Nautilus

the ultimate swim spa experience
With a combination of up to six adjustable jets, our
swim spas create a powerful counter current that will
challenge most swimmers.
The jets create a massive force of water to swim against
and will be tremendous fun for the whole family. The
pools are fully adjustable via a programmable control
panel. With our larger models, the counter currents
can be set to your own strength or fitness level.
A warm, relaxing pool experience,
night and day, all year round
The spa water temperature is thermostatically
controlled up to 40º and is ready for you to take a dip
and relax anytime you fancy. An insulated shell and
cover keep the heat in when not in use.
Taking a plunge in the twilight hours is not a
problem as all our pools feature underwater lighting.
As we move from season to season you can adjust
the temperature for the perfect swimming conditions
at any time of year.
It’s all about the power of the counter-currents
Pure, clean water
Unlike a conventional pool, Riptide swim spas
require very little cleaning as they incorporate a
state-of-the-art filtration and sanitising system. With
high performance pumps, corona discharge ozone
systems and skimmer filter system, you can always
be sure of a clean and safe pool experience.
