Olympia Swim Spa

Description

A swim spa, as the name suggests, is where athleticism meets luxury relaxation, all in one high-quality spa unit, and the Olympia definitely fits this description. Whether it’s to enjoy a swim work-out or training session, or to help teach learners of any age how to swim, the Olympia, with its 8,500 litre capacity swim area, does what it says on the tub.

The Olympia Swim Spa is renowned for its superbly engineered quality. The seating area, whether used solely for a relaxing massage, or to unwind following a swim workout, has 75 water jets, ergonomically distributed around the four seats in the hydrotherapy area guarantee a wonderfully indulgent relaxing massage to quickly soothe and relax those tight muscles.

Power to the massage and swim jets is provided by two powerful 3HP Typhoon pumps for the two counter current jets and a 2HP swim pump providing a superb flow rate that few swim spas in this class can match. All this water jet power is managed by an intuitive touch screen display keypad that boasts a state of the art full colour screen for fingertip control of all the functions of your hot tub. This also includes dedicated swim software that provides the endurance training or high-intensity workouts that in essence become your own personal trainer.

For further enhancement of your luxury swim spa experience, premium quality Bluetooth speakers are built in, together with water level indicators and LED lighting. This allows a thoroughly mesmerising ambience for night-time relaxation sessions when a swim is not required. You simply switch on the LED lighting, turn up the volume, lie back and enjoy the experience with family or friends.

You can also add the optional WiFi kit, which enables you to set your hot tub functions remotely from anywhere with an internet connection to your WiFi. You can also reduce your energy usage by installing the optional AquaIntel 7kW Air Source heat pump for the water.

It has been recognised for many years now that hot tubs can provide users with some excellent health benefits, both physical and mental. The massaging jets and warm water in a modern hot tub can help to relax your muscles and also soothe your mind. The physical and health benefits of hot tubs are not new – they have been known for centuries.

However, there is much more to be gained from owning your own luxury hot tub. Relax in it whenever you want, no need to book in advance or queue at the venue; no interruptions from others waiting to use the tub, all with privacy and choosing who you want to be with you.

Reduce stress and anxiety

Regular hot tub use not only lowers those stress hormones, but it also boosts your mood through the raising of your levels. According to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, the hot water in the tub also sends a signal to your brain that you can now relax, and being in your own private, luxury hot tub environment, your troubles can then simply melt away.

Increased circulation

According to Healthline Medical, relaxing in a hot tub can have positive effects on blood pressure by lowering it and increasing vascular function by gently, but importantly, raising your heart rate. Using your hot tub regularly can help reduce cardiovascular risk, even more relevant for people with decreased mobility.

Workout recovery

A good soak in a hot tub followed by a few gentle stretch exercises after a workout is a great way to relax your muscles, reduce stiffness and help you recover. According to the UK’s Marathon Handbook, the moist heat therapy of a hot tub can greatly accelerate muscle recovery.

Increased quality of sleep

According to the American National Library of Medicine, heating your body passively through immersion in a hot tub one to two hours before bedtime can help improve your sleep quality. It can also include a significant reduction in the time it takes you to actually fall to sleep, as well as improve your total sleep time overall.

Reduce inflammation

Hot tubs can help significantly with the relief from back pain, joint pains and headaches, according to NICE, (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence). The water temperature helps to reduce swelling and fluid build-up in joints, with the ‘weightlessness’ experienced in the water also helping to take the pressure off body joints and thus reduce the pain.

Helps manage arthritis symptoms

Hydrotherapy, using a hot tub, can help with increasing joint flexibility and mobility for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Just a 15- to 20-minute soak in the soothing, buoyant warm water, decreases pressure on the joints and can help relax muscles.

Increased social connection

Your hot tub is not just your own personal relaxation, massager and stress reliever, but a great way to interact socially with friends and family by ‘not going out’ and thus having a great night in. Put your phones away, chat, laugh together, catch up with each other and relax in your own warm and quiet environment.
