The Best of Both Worlds – Swim Spas in San Diego

Swimming is a wonderful way to get a good workout because it uses all of your muscles against the resistance of the water. Swimming has other health benefits also: • It builds cardiovascular endurance and fitness without causing undue stress to the joints of the body. • It elevates the heart rate without stressing your body. • Swimming helps people maintain a healthy weight. • Regular swimming exercise tones muscles and builds core body strength. The American Heart Association says that if a person engages in only 30-60 minutes of physical activity 3-4 days each week, it can help reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol.

Swimming pools may be too costly When people consider installing a swimming pool there are many factors and costs involved with it: • Is there room on the property for the pool to be installed? • Are there zoning regulations or homeowners association regulations to deal with? • The upfront cost of even a small pool begins at around $25,000, plus approximately $2,000 to fil it with water, $7,500 to fence it in for insurance purposes, and about $2,500 for pool furniture and equipment to maintain the pool. And, what if you want the benefit of a hot tub also? That would add another $10,000 to the project. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have all the benefits of swimming as well as the benefits of a hot tub combined?
