If you’ve recently bought your own swim spa, or indeed had one for some time but feel you aren’t making the most of it, there are accessories and items out there that can help you achieve its full potential. Of course there is nothing wrong with using it just for swimming or relaxing in after an exercise session, but it does make sense to use it to its maximum efficiency. We teamed up with www.aquaspasupplies.co.uk to take a look at how you can turn your swim spa into your own personal work out area.
A Swim Tether…
Swimming up and down time after time can become tedious with all the turns required each time you reach the end of the pool. This can all be changed by simply buying a Swim Tether or a Swim Tether Mini. Described as being the “ultimate stationary swimming experience” it can really transform your training. With no annoying cords attached to your ankles or feet to get caught up in, this swimming aid will allow you to improve both your stamina and technique at the same time. What’s more, it’s also very easy to install. The kit comes complete with everything you need to get started and comprises of a compact 3 piece fiber rod pole, a neoprene covered nylon belt which you attach round your waist (waist size up to 54 inches) and a static swim cord. It also comes with a stainless steel deck plate for if your spa doesn’t have the correct mount already fitted.
A Rowing Kit…
Of course not everyone wants to use their spa for this purpose. Some people prefer a different way of exercising and would be happier with rowing rather than swimming for long distances. You can buy a Rowing Kit if you prefer which will provide you with an all over body work out. It comes complete with everything you need to transform your spa into a low impact work out machine which includes row bars, ankle straps, handles and swim belt.
