Best Swim Spas in Nelson

A swim spa is a compact fitness pool with a powerful current for swimming in place, plus built-in spa seating for hydrotherapy. You get both exercise and relaxation in one, year-round setup.

Single-zone models share one water area and temperature. Dual-zone swim spas have a separate swim area and spa area, each with its own controls and heat settings.

We use Focus™ Swim Jets in three setups: Splash with 2 jets, Advanced with 3 jets, and Pro with 4 jets. Each step increases water flow and swim resistance.

Choose Splash for gentle swims and family fun, Advanced for regular fitness, and Pro for a powerful current ideal for strong swimmers and intensive training.

Yes—Focus™ Swim Jets have variable speed control, letting you set a gentle flow for recovery or crank it up for serious resistance.

Most swim spas come in either 1.3 m for easier entry and family use, or 1.5 m for a deeper, more natural swimming stroke.

Sizes vary by model, but most range from around 5–6 m long and 2–2.3 m wide. Always allow extra space for access and a sturdy base.

Yes—keep the swim zone cooler for exercise and the spa zone warmer for soaking, or adjust both to suit the season.

Yes—hydrotherapy seats and the swim jets run off separate pumps, so you can have both running at the same time.

Most swim spas heat anywhere from 10°C for a cool plunge to 40°C for a hot soak—perfect for all-season use.

Absolutely. Set a lower temperature in summer and enjoy it as a refreshing pool, then heat it back up for winter.

Power requirements vary—entry models may need 15–25 amps per zone, while larger Pro models can require 32–45 amps. A licensed electrician can advise for your specific spa.

All Alpine Swim Spas use Alpine Insulation™ and come with a lockable Arctic cover. Adding a SpaNet® heat pump can cut heating costs by up to 75%.

We combine Microban® filtration with Ozone and UV-C sanitisation, reducing chemical use and keeping water clear with minimal effort.

Not at all. Models with WhisperQuiet™ circulation pumps keep water moving almost silently, even during filtration cycles.

Many models feature Premium StarLight™ LED systems with multiple colours and modes for relaxation, parties, or evening swims.

They’re built with Lucite® acrylic shells, QuadPlate™ four-layer shell construction, galvanised steel framing, and premium insulation for strength and longevity.

Yes—every Alpine Spas™ swim spa comes with a fully insulated, lockable cover to retain heat and keep debris out.

Each spa includes a swim tether to help maintain position in the current and improve stroke technique.

Yes—walk, jog, stretch, or do resistance exercises against the current for a full-body, low-impact workout.

Depending on the model, you’ll find anywhere from 3 to 9 hydrotherapy seats in addition to the swim area.

Yes—add the optional SmartLink Wi-Fi module to adjust temperature and settings from your phone or smart speaker.

Expect Hurricane™ hydrotherapy jets, ergonomic steps, LED lighting, and in some models, dedicated foot massage jets.

Splash models feature 3-layer Alpine Insulation™, while Advanced and Pro models use 4-layer Alpine Insulation™ for maximum efficiency.

Two jets are great for light exercise, three jets suit most swimmers, and four jets create the strongest current for advanced training.

A flat, strong surface—such as a reinforced concrete pad—is ideal. It must support the full weight when filled.

Most swim spas come with a 10-year structural warranty, 5 years on the acrylic shell, 5 years on the heater & jets, and 2 years on equipment

Yes—bigger dual-zone models often require independent circuits for each zone. Your electrician will confirm the exact setup.

No—the combination of Ozone and UV-C sanitisation reduces chemical needs to small top-ups after heavy use.

Yes—visit one of our showrooms to see different models, test the seating, and experience the jet systems in person.
