Congratulations on your new swim spa! Wow! I'm really impressed to hear your plans to participate in a triathlon, good luck with all your training for it!
First of all...Congratulations on making health a priority. I stumbled upon your video after a swimspa review search. And then I had to watch a couple more of your videos and reach out to give you kuddos! I do have some specific swimspa questions as an avid swimmer who has become frustrated with pool availability with my busy schedule. Would you mind reaching back out to me? I would like to know if you swim year round in the pool? We live in Michigan-so also Midwest and perhaps it's colder than where you are but I would gather not by much. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Thank you for the comment! We do swim year-round in the swim spa, although I do prefer it to be in the 30s when I head out. It's more for the getting in and out - not so much the water temperature.. I'm in northeast Indiana, about an hour drive from Michigan. I've never had any issue. We LOVE it three years later.
We do have to shovel to get to the spa. The biggest thing is getting snow off the cover so you can open it. But I feel like I have more days without snow than with snow, at least here in Indiana.
I have a metal gazebo over the swim spa with net curtains. It keeps the snow, bugs and leaves out and the water is always clean. Can swim while it's snowing or raining. I'd keep the spa as close as possible to the back door. Also the retractable covers that role back are much easier and faster. Encourages me to use the pool more.
I would definitely do it again. We have used it more than we ever thought we would. On the training side, I really don't think that I could have fit in my swims and maintained my sanity otherwise. I would have built the pad a little bit bigger so I could have added more steps.
I love it! We use it so much more than we ever thought we would. It's really helped my son overcome his fear of water. We've found it to be really easy to take care of, too.
how much did the swim spa cost

was it easy to grab the pool with the fork lift or can you damage the pool underneath when lifting it?
Should do a review video
That looks fun and relaxing! Enjoy the family, and alone, time!
Where did that water come from?? The installers? The hose!!
I want to know too.

In Indiana. You've had it a couple years now. How much does it cost to heat in the Dec to Feb months?
How much is something like this? Thinking 🤔 about getting one
Is it expe sive to run, how much is the electeicity?
Very nice. Great investment for both physical health and family fun.
So happy for you congratulations on your new journey
Was hooking up the electrical pretty easy? Were getting ours in 3 weeks. Have everything set up, just a little anxious about hooking up the wires.
We had an electrician come to the house. It seemed pretty seamless, even for our old house.
Tfs, this looks like so much fun!
How is it in winter. And do you have to shovel a path thru snow? I want one but dont want to deal with snow in winter.

Congratulations. Looks great.
If you had to do it again; would you? Would you do anything different? Researching my own first 70.3 dreams....
I would definitely do it again. We have used it more than we ever thought we would. On the training side, I really don't think that I could have fit in my swims and maintained my sanity otherwise. I would have built the pad a little bit bigger so I could have added more steps.
@@kmtruesdell Thanks for the video. I just bought the same swim Spa today. Will deliver in a few weeks. Thanks for shareing
@@kmtruesdell
So do you mean you want two spots for steps? What do you mean extra?
@@kmtruesdell
How much more concrete would you have added?
Hi. Wondering how you are liking this a year later? thx
I love it! We use it so much more than we ever thought we would. It's really helped my son overcome his fear of water. We've found it to be really easy to take care of, too.
Looking at one of these. Not for training, just exercise and play. Is it too hot for the summer to use as a pool?
Definitely not! We used it all summer as a family. We were able to keep it in the 80s without issue.
Wood frame? No bueno
