https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/12562/swimspaHi Everyone, New to this forum but curious on what people here thought about buying a swimspa? I don&#39;t have a lot of time to train (busy job and two little ones at home) so thought this might help. Any thoughts on whether they are worth it or specificen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/199360?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 12 Sep 2016 10:11:30 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:e5a1e88a-f3ea-4cff-911d-f4572453a57aForceDJWell, IMO...for me, I just don&#39;t know if it&#39;d be a good investment. But, I&#39;ve never used one. Do you already have a pool to have it installed in, or would that be part of your purchase? From what I&#39;ve seen, they&#39;re in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $15,000 with that small above ground pool included. To begin with I really loath &quot;training&quot; in a stationary fashion. I love to run and will run for miles on the road or trails. But on a treadmill I&#39;m ready to stick an ice pick in my temple by three miles. Same thing on the stationary bike. I have an in ground pool at my house and I sometimes will &quot;swim&quot; tethered to the side. After 15 minutes I&#39;m ready for the ice pick! But in a 25/50 pool, or in open water I can go thousands of meters/yards. I&#39;m just curious about your time to &quot;train&quot; comment. I just can&#39;t see doing a workout of interval sets with a stationary swimming device. Maybe it can be done. I don&#39;t know. But if your intended &quot;training&quot; would be more of just swimming laps (and you already have the pool) perhaps tethered would be more economical way to go. And/or instead of spending that amount of money for the whole set-up, that money could be used for childcare at a health club with a poos where you could get a quality workout. Good luck on your decision. Dan<div style="clear:both;"></div>
