Best Swim Spa Brands of 2021

Do you want to skip going to the public pool to swim? If you want convenience, privacy, and accessibility then look no further than your own personal swim spa or exercise pool. There are nearly fifty manufacturers in the pool and spa industry that make portable swim spas (a.k.a swim-in-place pools) that can be installed in the backyard or inside the home. Many of the brands just dip their toes in this segment with only one or two models so that they can take a piece of the pie in what is the largest growth segment in the hot tub industry for the past ten years. Other brands take a deeper dive into swim spas by offering over a dozen different models.
