Up your game with resistance swim devices

By now, we all know how amazing swimming can be for our health, not just in the physical sense, but mentally too. Swimming reduces the risk of heart disease and strokes, as well as lowering blood pressure and strengthening muscles. It works well to combat anxiety and depression; the movement of the water against your skin creates a massaging effect making you feel calm and relaxed. It goes without saying that swimming is just a great form of exercise all round.

However, if you wanted to up your game and get an even more intense workout, resistance swim or counter current devices can help you do just that. These machines are used by professional swimmers as they negate the need to turn in the pool and swim actual laps and many of our clients love the option of having one of these in their pool too as it gives them the choice of a calming swim or a high power workout.

There are many different devices that can aid you in achieving your health and wellness goals. All of these devices are available in a range of finishes to suit your individual aesthetic, here are some of our most popular:
