Are you looking for small inground pools? With so many pool options on the market, here are 5 reasons why swim spas are the perfect choice.

1. EXTREME FUNCTION

Don’t let its small size fool you. You can do the same activities in this small pool as in a large pool. In fact, some swim spas offer more versatility than large pools. This is mainly due to its water current feature. If you choose a pool with a powerful stream of water, then you can swim, exercise, exercise for the whole body, rehabilitate, relax and still have a lot of fun. It all depends on how the current is generated: paddle wheel, jets or propeller. Look for pools that offer a strong, adjustable current so you can change the water from a low speed for easy workouts and rehabilitation to higher speeds for swimming or max-intensity workouts.

Swim spas come in all shapes and sizes. Be sure to choose the perfect size for your needs. Some accommodate one or two people, while others can comfortably accommodate 8 to 10. If you choose a fiberglass pool, you can even customize the interior design. Build benches, ladders, water treadmills, and different depths to create your perfect pool.

Once you know your end goal, find a pool that fits your needs. Before you know it, you’ll be on your way to the little in-
ground pool.

2. EASY TO MAINTAIN

Swim Spas are smaller than typical pools and this makes them much easier to drain for cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, some manufacturers offer pools with an easy-to-clean Gelcoat surface that helps minimize algae buildup and creates a barrier against moisture absorption.

Did you know that swim spas emit minimal chemical odor? Its smaller body of water means it uses smaller amounts of chemicals resulting in less odor. This is great if you want your pool to be installed indoors. This all adds up to a pool that is easier to maintain and better for the environment.

3. IT COSTS LESS TO OPERATE

We are all aware of the amount of water we use in our daily lives. The small size of this pool means less water, and less water means lower heating costs and fewer chemicals, saving time and money. Look for insulated swim spas, such as fiberglass units built with a wood core. They increase temperature retention to add even more savings.

Even better, if you keep your hot tub covered with a heated blanket or hard top cover, evaporation is minimal so you don’t need to fill it as often. A pool cover also results in minimal humidity and even greater heat retention. A win-win all around!

4. DESIGN IT TO COMPLEMENT YOUR HOME

Many lap pools can be ordered to match your home décor. Choose tiles that match your floors, walls, entire room, or backyard space. Some pool manufacturers, depending on the construction material, let you choose the color of the pool. This is a great interactive tool for playing with tile and pool colors. Choose a white pool surround with a blue pool interior. Perhaps you would like a striking black or a calming grey. It only takes your imagination to create the ultimate swim spa oasis.

5. SMALL POOLS ARE EASIER TO INSTALL

Most swim spas take up less space than traditional small inground pools. Its footprint size can be as small as 8′ x 20′ or as large as 10′ x 22′ to accommodate multiple users. Depending on the construction material, install them buried or above ground. Build one on a deck, place it in the corner of a room, create a sunroom solarium or a beautiful backyard retreat.

A smaller pool also means less construction. Once the space is prepared, it doesn’t take long to install one. If access is an issue, look for lap pools that can be delivered in sections. This makes it easier to fit them into small spaces. Whether you’re building a new room or want to fit your pool into an existing space, less construction means less money.

The beauty of a swim spa is that you get the function of a large pool in the ultimate plunge pool package. There is no limit to what you can achieve when swim spas are small inground pools.
