Health and Wellness Benefits of Owning a Swim Spa

Besides the wellness benefits you receive from being immersed in hot water; a swim spa provides other added benefits. Swim spas allow you to strengthen muscle, improve cardiovascular health, lose weight, enjoy a massage, sleep better and spend quality time with family and friends – all in the privacy of your own home! Read below the key benefits of owning a swim spa.

Improve Fitness

Swim spas are multipurpose and can be used by all ages and fitness abilities. Most of our swim spas include free exercise equipment so not only can you swim, but you can also curl, kick, row, jog, stretch, run or walk. Unlike exercising out of water, swim spas provide resistance, which strengthens muscles and boosts cardio intensity.

Swim spas are an excellent solution for those who struggle with mobility issues as the water supports your weight, making workouts easier on joints and reducing the chance for an injury. Swim spas can provide symptom relief for conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Lose Weight

Exercise, combined with a balanced diet, is crucial for anyone looking to lose weight and maintain good physical and mental health. For many, the solution is running, cycling, going to the gym, etc. But for some, a lack of confidence may hold them back. Swim spas allow you to exercise in the privacy of your own home and achieve your weight loss goals.

Ease Muscle Tension & Joint Stiffness

Swim spas are versatile – they are made for exercising with the additional benefit of seating with jets, so you can sit back and relax, just like a hot tub. Our swim spas are designed to give you a targeted massage to ease muscle tension and improve joint stiffness after your workout.

Boost Your Mood

As you exercise, endorphins are released – a feel good chemical that has been proven to counteract stress and its negative impact on your body.

Sleep Better

When you exercise in a swim spa, your body temperature slowly rises. When you get out of the spa, the cooling process begins. The drop in body temperature causes the brain to release melatonin, the sleep hormone, which helps you to feel relaxed and ready for bed.

Family Fun

A swim spa is a great resource for bringing family and friends together. You can enjoy quality family time all-year round, no matter whether it’s sunny or cold outside.

BHT Swim Spas

Ultimately, owning a swim spa can help you lead a healthier and happier lifestyle. Our BHT Swim Spa range provides for all. Whether you need a rigorous fitness routine, or a place to spend quality time with family, we’re sure we have the swim spa model for you.

Choose from our single chamber swim spas, or dual temperature swim spa & hot tub combination units. The temperature of the swim spa and hot tub can be adjusted independently so that you can exercise in cooler water and enjoy a massage in warmer water.

You can control the counter current speed with our best-selling turbine model, with up to 8 different speed settings enabling you to personalise your swim to suit your ability. This, combined with powerful levitator technology that enables your body to stay afloat when swimming, offers the ultimate swim experience.

We offer everything from wet tests (try before you buy), site surveys, landscaping, decking, crane quotes and after-care to help you every step of the way throughout your spa journey.

Health and Wellness Benefits of Owning a Sauna

Saunas have been paramount in Finish culture for thousands of years and it isn’t difficult to see why – research has shown a saunas’ dry heat has profound effects on overall health, wellness, and performance. Here are the top 5 benefits of sauna use:

Ease Aches and Pains

Heat from the sauna increases blood circulation and carries oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscle, which relieves muscle tension and improves joint stiffness. Consequently, saunas may help those with chronic pain and arthritis.

Boost Your Mood

Relaxing in a sauna helps your body to release endorphins, a feel-good chemical that has been proven to counteract stress and its negative impact on your body.

Sleep Better

Sauna use can encourage a deeper, more relaxed sleep. After you visit a sauna, your body will cool down rapidly. This cool down process signals to your brain that it’s time to start producing melatonin – the sleep hormone.

Get Clearer Skin

As you sweat, your blood flow and circulation increase. At the same time, your pores open up and sweat flushes out bacteria that was trapped in them, resulting in less clogged pores, smoother skin and a healthier complexion.

Bring the Family Together

Nowadays, we spend more and more time in front of screens and less and less time talking to each other. There is no better place than a sauna to relax and reconnect with family members after a busy week.

General Precautions

Despite the multitude of benefits, saunas may not be appropriate for everyone. You should seek medical advice before using a sauna, particularly if you are pregnant or have health conditions. Here are some other general precautions:

• Do not drink alcohol before, during or after sauna use.
• Stay in no more than 20 minutes.
• Make sure to cool down gradually afterwards.
• Drink plenty of cool water before and after each sauna session.
• Do not use a sauna if you are ill.
