Can you install a swim spa in a small space?

Do you dream of a swim spa, but think your yard is too small?

That's a common misconception we often hear at Provence Spa. However, there are now compact swim spas that allow you to enjoy the benefits of counter-current swimming and hydromassage, even when available space is limited.

Before giving up on your project, discover what's truly possible.

Does a swim spa take up a lot of space?

Unlike a traditional swimming pool, a swim spa is designed to offer maximum functionality in a reduced space.

Depending on the model, you can enjoy:

• a counter-current swimming zone;
• a hydromassage area;
• a heated pool usable all year round.

The most compact models are approximately 4 meters long, allowing them to be installed on many terraces or in medium-sized gardens.

Why choose a swim spa over a swimming pool?

If your land is limited, a swim spa offers several advantages.

Year-round use

Unlike an outdoor swimming pool, the swim spa is heated and can be used in all seasons.

Two-in-one equipment

You benefit from both:

• counter-current swimming;
• a relaxation area with hydromassage.

Reduced footprint

The swim spa offers the sensations of a swimming pool without requiring a basin of several tens of square meters.

Where to install a swim spa?

Swim spas can be installed:

• on a concrete slab;
• on a sufficiently resistant terrace;
• in a garden;
• under a shelter or a pergola;
• or even in a large, properly prepared indoor space.

Before any installation, it is important to check the resistance of the ground and the access necessary for delivery.

Can you really swim in a compact swim spa?

Yes.

The principle relies on a counter-current swimming system that creates a continuous flow of water.

You swim in place, without needing a long pool length.

Depending on the models, the current intensity is adjustable to suit both leisure use and more athletic training.

What about relaxation?

This is precisely what differentiates a swim spa from a swimming pool.

After your workout, you can enjoy:

• massage seats;
• hydromassage jets;
• heated water;
• the various wellness technologies offered depending on the models.

You thus combine physical activity and relaxation in a single piece of equipment.

Are energy performances important?

As with a classic spa, insulation plays an essential role.

At Provence Spa, we recommend choosing a well-insulated model to limit heat loss and control energy consumption.

Aquavia swim spas notably incorporate technologies such as EcoSpa, Nordic Insulation, and a high-performance thermal cover, designed to optimize their energy efficiency.

Our opinion

At Provence Spa, we regularly encounter people who are convinced they don't have enough space to install a swim spa.

In many cases, however, there is a suitable solution.

Thanks to the compact models available today, it is possible to enjoy the benefits of counter-current swimming and hydromassage without having a huge garden. The most important thing is to study your project, your needs, and the available space to choose the model that truly suits you.
