Benefits of Swimming in an Endless PooL Swimming Machine

What our customers say about swimming in an Endless Pool...

Convenience & Privacy
"I have been able to swim twice as often in half the time it was taking for a trip to the YMCA pool. Because of this, I am in better shape physically and mentally." (Jonesboro, AR)

"The convenience of having the ability to swim at home cannot be over-emphasized. I have swum as early as 4:30 a.m. and as late as 1 in the morning -- nearly around the clock." (Palmyra, VA)

A Tailor-Made Experience
"Swimming is an excellent exercise, and now I can swim every day because it's so convenient and private. I can swim when I want and how long I want. I'm able to have it at a temperature that is comfortable to me. The small size of an Endless Pool enabled me to install a pool where I could not install a regular size one." (Los Angeles, CA)

Physical Fitness
"Wonderful way to tighten muscles and lose weight!" (Princeton, NJ)

No Turns
"I never was able to do a flip turn. Now, I don't have to." (Kalema, WA)

Athletic Training
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Rowdy Gaines reminds us once again that the advantages of the Endless Pool are both quantitative and qualitative. It's a tool that simultaneously increases stamina and improves swimming technique.

Swim Training Advice

Make a list of your favorite workouts and try to duplicate the motions and intensity in the water. For example, if you are running a 5:50 mile on land, then run against the Endless Pool's swim current at your best effort for five minutes and 50 seconds.

Use a heart rate monitor to determine the effectiveness of your workouts. Keep in mind that your heart will beat slower when you exercise in the water than when you exert the same effort on land.

Vary your routines with training aids such as buoyant barbells and kickboards. These devices are effective support systems and training tools because they both float and create resistance.

To maintain proper shoulder alignment, keep upper body exercises to 8 to 16 repetitions. Do a maximum of three sets of the same exercise in any workout period. Rest muscle groups for 30 to 60 seconds between each set.
