What Is a Swim Spa, and Why Is It Perfect for Colorado?

A swim spa or all season pool combines the best features of a swimming pool and a hot tub. It offers a compact, versatile space for low-impact exercise, hydrotherapy, and relaxation—all with temperature control that adapts to the seasons. Swim spas are even used by world-class athletes, like Michael Phelps, to train with powerful resistance currents right at home.

Unlike traditional pools, which can be limited by colder weather, swim spas can be heated in the winter and cooled in the summer, making them ideal for year-round use in Colorado.

5 Reasons a Swim Spa Is a Smart Investment in Colorado

1. Use It All Summer Long—And Even When the Temps Drop

Even on a cool July night in the mountains, your swim spa can stay warm and inviting. Adjust the water temperature for refreshing daytime swims and cozy evening soaks. It’s perfect for staying active or unwinding after a hike or bike ride on one of Colorado’s many trails. Check out Colorado Parks & Wildlife for local hiking inspiration!

2. Year-Round Relaxation and Recovery

After hitting the slopes in Breckenridge, a swim spa gives you therapeutic relief all winter long. The combination of hydromassage jets and warm water helps:

  • Soothe sore muscles

  • Relieve joint pain

  • Reduce stress and improve sleep

  1. Save Space—and Still Swim Your Way
    Don’t have room for a full-sized pool? No problem. A swim spa or all season pool gives you the flexibility to swim, exercise, and relax in a compact footprint—perfect for urban and suburban backyards.
  • For fitness: Adjustable current systems create a continuous swim experience, ideal for building endurance without needing flip turns.

  • For fun: Turn down the current for a leisurely swim or simply splash and play with family and friends.

4. Lower Maintenance Than a Pool

Pools require significant upkeep and seasonal maintenance. Swim spas are easier to care for and include efficient insulation to retain heat and reduce energy bills—especially important in Colorado’s variable climate. At Spa Palace, we also offer our Pro Water Care Program for easy, expert-level spa maintenance.

5. Add Value to Your Home

A high-quality swim spa can be a unique selling point if you ever decide to move. Portable by design, a swim spa can either stay with your home or move with you.

How to Prepare for a Swim Spa in Colorado

Before installation, make sure your space is properly prepped. We recommend:

  • A solid foundation, like a concrete slab or reinforced deck.

  • Electrical setup by a licensed professional.

  • Outdoor enhancements for comfort and privacy.
