Re: Buying a Swim Spa/Exercise Pool ... good idea?
When l was with my ex partner, we went to buy a hot tub for the garden. One of the places we went to had a swim/spa on display and we considered buying one.After thinking about it, we decided it might be a waste of time as, although you could 'swim' in it, it was 'on the spot' swimming, you didn't go anywhere! The spa section wasn't very big.
Instead, we bought a Jacuzzi J-470 (6-7 person) hot tub which was great! When we parted, l kept the hot tub for quite a while but due to the daily maintenance and the high electricity bills, l sold it!

People were often splashing around too much or landing almost on top of me
I'm one of those people who panics and breathes in if my nose goes under water ... this is not good

Re: Buying a Swim Spa/Exercise Pool ... good idea?
You might like to give the pool another try Rachel.At my local pool they have adult only sessions which are very sedate & I can assure you nobody would splash you or jump on you.
I would find swimming on the spot extremely boring.
At least with exercise bike, treadmill etc you can position yourself in front of the TV while you do your stuff but not with swimming....
