Apex Swim | 4-Person Compact Swim Spa

The Apex Swim is a compact swim spa designed for the gardens that can't fit a full-length pool. It packs a proper swim lane and a 3-seat hydrotherapy zone into a 4.3-metre footprint — small enough to be realistic for most UK plots, but built to deliver the cardiovascular and recovery benefits of a much larger system.

This is a serious bit of kit, not a "small spa with a current". It's powered by three 3HP swim pumps and a separate spa pump, and it's hardwired on a 40A supply so the resistance current and the hydrotherapy seats can run in parallel without compromise. In practical terms, it gives you a usable home setup for swim training, low-impact conditioning and post-session recovery in a single shell.

A swim lane built for actual training, not just splashing

The Apex Swim uses the same swim engine as our larger swim spas — three 3HP swim pumps generating an adjustable resistance current. You can dial the current down for a relaxed breaststroke, or up to a steady aerobic effort that keeps you in place against the flow. This is the format that makes home-based swim work realistic: short blocks, daily, without the friction of getting to a public pool.

A targeted recovery zone at the back end

Behind the swim lane sits a 3-seat hydrotherapy zone with 36 stainless-steel jets. After a swim or a training session, the combination of warm water immersion and pressurised flow supports peripheral vasodilation and helps move blood through the muscles you've just worked — useful for general recovery, perceived soreness, and winding the nervous system down before bed.

Control + comfort that you'll actually use

The Apex Swim runs through a Gecko Spatouch 2 colour touchscreen — a large, wet-hand-friendly interface that controls temperature, jet zones and filtration. Built-in Bluetooth audio with waterproof speakers and ambient lighting handle the "evening soak" use case as well as the training one.

Built for the UK climate

The shell is wrapped in Platinum Premium Shield insulation to protect heat retention through autumn and winter — important for swim spas, which hold significantly more water than a hot tub and benefit most from properly insulated cabinets.

Delivery & site preparation

  • Delivery type: specialist freight — large swim spas are typically delivered by booked freight rather than standard kerbside.
  • Electrical: 40A dedicated supply, prepared by a qualified electrician before delivery.
  • Base: reinforced concrete pad — swim spas are a substantial filled load.
  • Access: swim spas often need crane or specialist lifting depending on site. Confirm gates, paths and turning points well before order.
  • Installation tier: select your preferred installation option from the product menu at checkout.
