Swim spas let users swim or enjoy warm
water therapy pool.
Therapy Pools:
APT-9'
Because
the buoyant nature of water supports the body, water therapy
maximizes a person’s abilities. Meno-Fettig has worked with
parents who don’t know the extent of their disabled children’s
abilities.
For example, when Meno-Fettig tells young
"Joey" he’s going to snorkel, his mother says, "He can’t do
that." Joey successfully snorkels, and his mother’s view of
him is changed.
"Water’s greatest gifts are independence,
building confidence and increasing mobility," Meno-Fettig
said.
Everybody's Doing It
"Spas are a growing market. They are great
for therapy and stress relief. With the aging baby boomers, we
anticipate the trend will continue," said Suzanne Barrows, a
spokesperson for the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals.
A swim spa at home also offers 24-hour-a-day
convenience, year-round use and privacy. It can fit in a
smaller space than a traditional pool, and requires a lower
heating cost, easier maintenance and fewer chemicals.
