Are Endless Swimming Pools Really Worth The Cost?

If you’re interested in swimming for the physical benefits or for physical therapy, you may be considering installing an endless pool or a lap pool. Endless pools are quite popular currently because they require less room than a traditional lap pool. They are actually quite small in comparison to most other pools.

They have an engineered “counter current” capability that allows you to swim against a current. The interesting part is the current is adjustable to any strength, allowing anyone to benefit. The downside is an Endless pool typically starts at around $25,000 or more.

Doctors and physical therapists agree Endless pools really do help overall fitness or rehabilitation. Most often, they find people are more willing to use this type of therapy because it’s conveniently located right outside their home.

In addition, it’s safe and private. The Endless pool requires very little maintenance and manufacturers claim it costs about the same price to operate as a hot tub or Jacuzzi. Thus, it’s very affordable to own and operate.

Overall, it seems an endless pool would be a good option if you need a pool for physical therapy or exercise, and don’t have enough room for a traditional sized pool. An Endless pool can require only a fourth of the space a traditional pool might require. Thus, it’s a great option if you don’t have the means for upkeep on a larger pool, due to finances or health reasons.
