How I Swim in My Swim Spa!
Просмотров 86 тыс.5 лет назад
My most common questions answered: This is a Catalina 12 ft swim spa. The bungee belt came with the spa. You need the loops in the spa to clip the bungee belt too. We bought our spa in about 2015, so by now it may be an older model. The water depth is about 41 inches deep. This is the all time best exercise I have ever done! For Low Impact Exercise, swim spa’s are the best! No making fun, I’m n...

    Hi Valerie - thanks for the helpful Video. I am considering buying a Swim Spa for swimming. I am only 5 ft. I would like to stick with 12 ft spa due to a very small yard. Are you perfectly happy with the 12 ft size of your spa for swimming? Do you find yourself running into the front or back of spa frequently?

      If you get the PH right it doesn't take many chemicals. First use spa up or down to regulate that. I use two chlorine tablets in a floater cartridge about once a week. That's all I use most of the time. Then I use Spa Shock after my grandkids get in once in a while.

The sun does ruin the rubber stuff on the seams though, but we put that fancy tape they advertise on TV that sticks to everything and is waterproof. That lasted for a year. It needs another layer on it now.

I really don't know what to say to help you except to maybe have someone watch you swim and see if they can give you suggestions. Without seeing your setup I don't know how to help. I had a bit of trouble hitting the sides, when I began, but I just kept adjusting and I got use to it pretty quickly, and now it is second nature. One thing I thought of today as I swim, I arch my back a little when I am using a wider stroke with my feet. This brings my bottom and legs up higher so they don't hit the benches on the sides. Get someone to watch you and maybe they can help you. I hope you get it figured out and end up loving it as much as I do. V

    Hi Valerie!, thank you so much for this video, you open my eyes to something I hadn't thought about. I was searching for a pool and how to heat it up and how to cover it... when I could just buy a swim spa! My question to you is: -Does the bungee strap hurt or chafe your waist? - also, I read in another comment that backstroke is not recommended to do, ¿is it because there is not space enough to move the arm and it would touch the cords in the movement? Thank you so much Blessings from Spain. 💗💗💗

      Sorry I'm slow to answer, the bungee belt is loose enough it doesn't bother me, plus I have a swim suit on so, no it doesn't, You can do the backstroke with the bungee belt if you modify, the belt blocks the stoke a bit, so you can't do a full circle. 💕

    Hi Valerie, I live in Utah County and your video was a great help in deciding whether to purchase a swim spa… so thank you! We purchased from the Spa Bros. They don’t have a showroom (lower overhead) so can offer the spas at a much lower price. I ordered a 14 ft spa and paid $13,999. That included the cover and fitness kit. Our spa comes with the clips on the side but I’ve had to search high and low for the belt & bungee cord. I found one at the swim outlet but it’s even hard to find on their site.
