Hot tub or swim spa: which fits your goals?

Swimmer training against the current in a swim spa

Both hot tubs and swim spas bring warm water home year-round, but they are designed for different goals. Start with how you want to use it.

Hot tubs: relaxation and hydrotherapy

A hot tub is built around seating and jets: deep, contoured seats, targeted massage, and warm water for unwinding after a long day. It fits more patios and decks, heats quickly, and is ideal for soaking with family and friends. Explore the Sundance® hot tub lineup.

Swim spas: exercise and family fun

A swim spa is longer, with a current to swim or exercise against, plus room for play and, on many models, seating for relaxation. It is a compact, year-round alternative for owners who want fitness in the backyard. See our swim spas.

Questions to ask yourself

  • Do you want to exercise in the water, or mainly relax?
  • How much space do you have, and how will it be installed?
  • Who will use it most, and how often?

Tip

Try both. A visit to the showroom, and a wet test where available, makes the difference clear quickly.

Visit our Lafayette showroom, or build and price a hot tub to see options for your space.
