With all of the demands of our fast-paced lives, having a place to relax and ease the tension in your body can be a necessity.
One great way to find relaxation is through the use of a swim spa.
While there are many gyms and clubs that offer swim spa services, it can also be very nice to own your very own swim spa and use it at your own leisure.
Swim spas can have just a pool, or just a hot tub, or in some cases both.
There are advantages and disadvantages to having both of these areas and they will be discussed.
The advantages of having separate swimming and hot tub areas in your swim spa are many.
One of the most distinct is that you will be able to maintain different temperatures in each area of the spa, and this makes it an ideal place for multiple activities.
Another great advantage of having them separated is that the designers of the spa will be able to keep the benches and the seats out of the way of the swimmers.
This helps with functionality as well as aesthetics.
Secondly, if you have a large family, then you can each enjoy different parts of the spa at the same time.
Maybe Mom and Dad want to relax in the hot tub while the kids enjoy the pool or vice versa.
This allows you to have a lot of versatility, and also gives you the chance to enjoy added company in the same swim spa.
Adding onto the advantages of separate pools and hot tubs, you could theoretically have a really good workout in the swimming pool by either doing laps or aerobics, and then end the workout by jumping in the hot tub at a warmer temperature and letting your muscles relax.
You wouldn't need to wait for the temperature to adjust because they are separated.
Last of all, you can save on your electric bills if you elect to only heat the hot tub and not the pool as well.
Also, to have to heat up both areas water at the same time can be extremely expensive.
