Trending Now: Aquatic Fitness Products

Swimsaps Pf Shutterstock 175910795 616 Feat

While pools and spas are still popular for their entertainment value, there's a growing segment of the market who'd love to have water in the backyard for another reason: to better their health. For this market, water is the catalyst for relief from aches and pains, rehabilitation for injuries, low-impact exercise, a tough workout or good old relaxation.

For these customers, swim spas are especially appealing. With a compact footprint, they're ideal for homeowners with small backyards. They're also multitalented — a morning swim against a current, for example, may be followed by splashes with the kids or a get-together with friends in the hot tub, all in the same space. In that respect, a swim spa is a one-size-fits-all product.

Looking to capitalize on the health and wellness trend — and help their dealers do the same — swim spa manufacturers are releasing new models. The new generation of swim spas come in different sizes and colors, like a traditional portable spa or pool, and can also be categorized by the skill level of the intended user. Other swim spas offer additional accessories, like resistance bands, rowing paddles and training programs, to turn the swim spa into a cross-purpose exercise tool.

Watkins in particular is confident in the health and wellness trend. After acquiring swim-in-place company Endless Pools, it rebranded as Watkins Wellness, making the wellness movement central to the company's identity.

Of course, aquatic fitness isn't limited to swim spas — those with swimming pools have access to hundreds of products, from current machines to aquatic bicycles, which turn the pool into a backyard gym.
