Hello,
I am in the process of designing a new pool for my backyard. I have room and budget for a lap lane of 50 to 60 ft. After designing the details of the pool with the lead engineer, he suggested a swim jet as an alternative for me that would allow a cheaper (smaller) pool construction cost.
Does anyone have experience with these type of products from a true swimmers point of view? I have a hard time believing the jets can really reproduce the same workout/resistances as a full lap lane, but I'm open to suggestions. I do swim all strokes at a decent swim rate. I do not want to be "held back" by a weak water stream, or wishing I had done the full lap lane instead.
Thanks!

Carl,
One thing that occurred when I was installing my endless pool is that the pressure guage was set too low. I found that I was able to overswim my 7.5HP unit pretty easily, which shouldn't happen with its top speed.
After a call with endless pools, I was able to adjust the gauge which increased the top speed of the pool dramatically. Perhaps the pool you tested was not set properly.
I will be interested to hear how you like the River Pool and its current.
