A Stationary Lap Pool Makes Exercise Fun

By Ned Dagostino

Swimming is a great activity in itself, a great sport, and a great way to exercise. Physiotherapists advise this in preference to other modes of exercise. You get your dose of resistance exercise when you swim. Ancillary damage and injury is minimum in swimming.

The simple objection to swimming as an exercise is the inconvenience. You just come home from work, all bushed out. Then your spouse reminds you that you have to go to the swimming pool for your prescribed exercise. Groan! Even if the pool were in the neighborhood, you know how it feels to go out at all? And woe betide if it's storming or snowing! If only you had a swimming pool at home!

Now you can have your cake and eat it too! You can buy yourself a stationary lap pool. This is a compact version of a regular swimming pool. Water is forced to move down the length of the lap pool, and you swim against this current.

The salient features of the stationary lap pool are that it saves you time, money, and space. You save time because stationary lap pools are available readymade and, once ordered, a stationary lap pool can be installed in a matter of hours! You save money because the stationary lap pool is attractively low-priced, far, far below the cost of a standard swimming pool. You save space because a stationary lap pool is basically about one and a half times as long as an adult and just about twice as wide. The stationary lap pool is so compact that you can install it in the ground, above the ground, outside the house or inside the house!

So how does it work? Water is made to flow along the length of the pool. You can control the flow of the water current. You enter the pool and begin to swim against the current. Swim enough to just keep yourself afloat, and heading into the current. This is a great way to get your dose of resistance exercise as well as cardiovascular exercise.

The stationary lap pool comes with controls to set the force and speed of the current to suit your physical condition. You'll feel like you're swimming in a real swimming pool, it's so realistic! The stationary lap pool comes in a variety of models, from the very basic to luxury models. Check out the features of each model, before you make up your mind to buy a particular model. One model has a hot-and-cold water feature so you can adjust the water temperature according to the time of day, the weather, or just your personal taste! Another model injects an alternating stream of hot and cold water to relax you like a full-body massage.

So you can see that the stationary lap pool is an ideal way to get your daily dose of swimming. Convenient, comfortable, compact, cost effective - it is the ultimate swimming pool product. Installation is a convenient half-a-day job, and the maintenance is as convenient.

In conclusion, a stationary lap pool is your best bet to a form of exercise which is deeply relaxing and pleasurable. All this is yours, at an extremely attractive price. If you like swimming, then just head out and get yourself a stationary lap pool! - 15255
