Many families are now looking for more ways to entertain at home and includes every family member. This is leading many families to look at the different pool and spa options. They have choices, such as traditional pools, swim spas, hot tubs or saunas. Taking a look at all these great choices is exciting but it also poses many questions and decisions that have to be made.

At one time, smaller pools that were designed more for water exercise and aerobics were called lap pools. They have really become popular in the last few years and their designs have become enhanced. They are now more commonly referred to as swim spas because of their additional benefits and features. They provide a more spa like setting.

There are probably more ongoing studies now concerning the benefits of a sauna than there ever have been before. This is partly true because more people are becoming proactive in enhancing their health through natural means. It is strongly believed that the sauna has the ability to create detoxification for the body and speed up its metabolism. A recent study, however, has shown that sauna bathing has the ability to create many more health benefits.
