What is a swim spa and is it the right choice for your home?
Want a hot tub or a swimming pool for your home in Spain but can’t decide between them?
If you’re looking to add a luxurious water feature to your home in Spain but can’t decide between a hot tub or a swimming pool, a swim spa might be the perfect solution.Combining the relaxing features of a hot tub with the fitness advantages of a pool, a swim spa offers a versatile experience that goes beyond simple relaxation. With powerful jets, an adjustable current and space for low-impact exercise, swim spas are designed to cater to both exercise and relaxation needs.
What is a swim spa? Can you really swim in a swim spa?
Yes, a swim spa is made for swimming! It is essentially a hybrid between a hot tub and a swimming pool. Ranging from 4 to 6 metres in length, a swim spa provides enough space for both swimming and water exercises while remaining compact enough to fit in many homes and gardens.
In terms of the size, a swim spa normally has a width of just under 2.5 metres and a depth of between 126cm and 155cm, with water capacity for between 12,000 and 15,000 litres. So it is big enough to swim in.
Swim spas generate a powerful current using adjustable jets, allowing users to swim in place against the current at their own pace, similar to running on a treadmill.
With options for hydrotherapy, massage and relaxation in addition to swimming, a swim spa is a swimming pool that doubles as a hot tub, to be used as an all-in-one solution for fitness, wellness and entertainment.
So is a swim spa hot or cold water? Well, because they are used for both exercise and enjoyment, the answer is they are both!
Benefits of a swim spa

Swim spas bring a variety of benefits that appeal to a wide range of users, from fitness enthusiasts to those seeking relaxation.
- Year-round exercise and relaxation: Swim spas can be used in both hot and cold weather, providing year-round enjoyment. With adjustable water temperatures, they offer a heated space for winter relaxation or can be set to cooler temperatures for summertime exercise.
- Adjustable current for all levels: The water current can be customised to suit all fitness levels. Beginners can start with a gentle flow, while seasoned swimmers can set a stronger current to challenge themselves.
- Hydrotherapy options: Many swim spas come with integrated hydrotherapy features, providing a combination of powerful water jets and warm water for a therapeutic experience. This makes it ideal for post-exercise relaxation or for relieving sore muscles.
- Compact design: Swim spas take up much less space than a traditional swimming pool, making them suitable for smaller properties or outdoor spaces, but they are used in a similar way to a swimming pool, so wearing swimming attire such as a swimsuit, bikini or trunks in a spa pool is recommended. Eurospas offers models specifically designed to maximise usability while minimising footprint.
- Health and wellness: Using a swim spa regularly can improve cardiovascular fitness, help with weight management, and reduce joint pressure, especially beneficial for those with arthritis or mobility issues. The adjustable current also enables users to engage in a full-body workout, helping tone muscles and boost circulation.
Considerations: Is a swim spa right for you?
Swim spas offer a range of benefits, but there are some factors to consider:
- Upfront costs: Swim spas are typically more expensive than hot tubs, reflecting their dual functionality and size. However, Eurospas offers competitive prices, including discounts on select models, as well as financing options to make it easier to invest in a swim spa.
- Maintenance and upkeep: Like any pool or hot tub, a swim spa requires regular maintenance to ensure water quality and hygiene. Eurospas provides comprehensive after-care and a parts warranty (two years for parts, five years for the shell, and ten years for the structure) for added peace of mind.
- Limited seating for relaxation: While swim spas do offer hydrotherapy and some seating options, they may not have as many massage jets or seating spaces as a traditional hot tub. This is ideal for users who prioritise swimming and exercise but may be a disadvantage for those focused on socialising and relaxation.
How long should you stay in a swim spa?
A balanced session in a swim spa typically lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, especially if the water is heated. This timeframe allows you to benefit from a thorough workout without overexposure to warm water.
If you are using the swim spa for relaxation at cooler temperatures, you may stay in a bit longer. Swim spas are designed to let users enjoy frequent, short sessions that can fit into a daily routine.
