Lisa Bentley Ironman Triathlete speaks out
about the benefits of the Hydropool Swim Spa

“Water is an incredible medium for increasing all aspects of fitness without risk of injury, and
the Hydropool Swim Spa is a refreshing new resistance training environment with unlimited possibilities.”

Easy to learn and virtually injury-free, "pumping water" in the pool with webbed gloves and foam dumbbells is quickly replacing lifting weights in the gym. This workout uses the water's natural resistance to achieve many of the benefits of traditional strength training, including body fat loss and greater muscular endurance. Recent research even suggests that water workouts maintain bone integrity to help prevent osteoporosis.

Experience the fitness benefits of aquatic exercises and training
The Hydropool Swim Spa is also a universal aquatic gym offering a full body workout. Resistance training in the water is as efficient as it is effective. Rather than requiring an hour in an aerobics class and another hour in the weight room, water workouts offer both cardio and resistance training in one 45-minute pool workout. Water provides 12 times the resistance of air in every direction and allows you to determine the intensity of your workout by the size and speed of your movements.

Combine the fitness benefits to improve circulation and lower blood pressure
By moving through the three-dimensional resistance of the water, your muscles are worked in virtually every direction which results in the conditioning of the minor as well as major muscle groups. This will greatly improve your circulation as well as lowering your blood pressure. Water exercise particularly enhances muscular endurance, enabling you to perform everyday tasks.

Excellent for weight loss, stamina and good posture
Maintaining a vertical posture in the water requires that you use your abdominal and back muscles for
balance and support, developing trunk stabilization and reducing lower back pain in the process. Whereas, resistance training on land initially results in stiff, tight muscles, the water's soothing massaging qualities reduce this typical post-workout soreness. Water exercise also enhances flexibility so muscles remain supple as they become conditioned, helping to improve your stamina and lose weight.
