Benefits of Swim Spa Ownership
- Year-Round Swimming
- Unlike traditional pools, swim spas are heated and insulated for 12-month use. Swim laps in January, recover in the spa section, and never miss a workout due to weather.
- Low-Impact Exercise
- Swimming and water aerobics are easy on joints while providing excellent cardiovascular workouts. The adjustable current lets you customize intensity from gentle walking to competitive training.
- Compact Footprint
- Swim spas fit in spaces too small for traditional pools—many install on existing patios or decks. No excavation required for above-ground installation.
- Dual-Zone Models
- Larger PowerPool models feature separate swim and spa zones with independent temperature controls. Exercise at 80°F, then relax at 102°F.

Swim Spa Ownership in Minnesota
Swim spas are ideal for Minnesota homeowners who want swimming and exercise year-round without the expense of a full pool. Most require 240V electrical service and can be installed above ground on a reinforced concrete pad. Heating costs are approximately $50-$100/month depending on use and outdoor temperatures.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between a swim spa and a pool?
- Swim spas use adjustable water currents to simulate swimming in place, allowing lap swimming in a 12'-23' space instead of the 30'+ required for traditional pools. They're heated and insulated for year-round use.
- How much does a swim spa cost?
- American Whirlpool PowerPool swim spas range from $25,000-$50,000 depending on size and features. This is significantly less than in-ground pools ($75,000-$120,000) while offering year-round functionality.
- Can I use a swim spa in Minnesota winters?
- Yes! Swim spas are fully insulated and heated like hot tubs. Many customers swim year-round. Full-foam insulation and quality covers maintain temperature even in subzero weather.
- What size swim spa do I need?
- For fitness swimming, we recommend 15' or longer models (RL5, MX5, MX6). For general exercise and family use, 12'-14' models work well. Dual-zone models (19'-23') are ideal for families wanting both fitness and relaxation.
- Do you install swim spas?
- Yes, we offer professional installation including electrical coordination, concrete pad preparation, and crane placement. Contact us for a free site evaluation.
