Turn-free Lap Swimming
One of the standout features of Jacuzzi® Swim Spas is the customizable, turn-free lap swimming experience. Traditional lap swimming in a pool requires constant turning at the wall, but with a swim spa, you can swim against a continuous current without interruption. This allows for a smoother, more efficient workout, especially for swimmers looking to build endurance or increase their training time without the need for frequent stops.
Low-impact, high-intensity training
The water resistance provided by the swim current makes it easier on the joints than running or cycling, but still offers an intense workout. Athletes can use their Jacuzzi® Swim Spa to perform interval training, endurance swimming, or even water aerobics for a low-impact yet challenging exercise session. The versatility of Jacuzzi® Swim Spas allow athletes to target different muscle groups, improve cardiovascular health, and build strength.
Jacuzzi® Infrared Saunas: A deep-heat recovery solution
Another highly effective recovery tool for athletes is the infrared sauna. Infrared saunas use infrared light to penetrate deep into the body, providing a gentle, soothing heat that helps promote healing and relaxation. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air, infrared saunas directly heat the body, making them more effective at reaching deeper muscle tissues.
How Infrared Saunas aid recovery
Detoxification
Sweating is one of the body’s natural ways of eliminating toxins, and infrared saunas promote deep sweating at lower temperatures than traditional saunas. The heat from the infrared light stimulates sweating, which helps remove toxins from the body, such as lactic acid, which can build up in muscles after intense workouts. Detoxification helps reduce muscle soreness and improve overall recovery.
Temporary pain relief and relaxation
Infrared saunas are known for their ability to temporarily reduce muscle and joint pain. The infrared heat penetrates deep into the muscle tissue, promoting relaxation and alleviating discomfort caused by overuse or injury. For athletes with chronic pain, the infrared sauna can be a highly effective method for easing pain and aiding recovery.
Increased flexibility
Regular use of an infrared sauna can help improve flexibility by relaxing muscles and reducing stiffness. The heat helps to loosen up tight muscles and increase range of motion, making it an ideal addition to a post-workout recovery routine.
