For those that are into general exercise and getting fit, there are many different exercise routines they can go through using the swim spa. Ideally, each person should develop their own water exercise program focusing on their level of fitness and then setting goals for where they want go.

On alternate days, you can do a timed water exercise routine. This could include walking against the current using floatation devices to assist you as your build up your endurance. Try doing some underwater crunches, which you are going to find to be quite a challenge, but very rewarding as well. Pull yourself back and forth against the current, which is like Pilates.

You can also use accessories that work well with your swim spa like rowing bars.

For those that are into some really serious training, there are several different kinds of swim spa courses that are now popping up on the Internet that you may find helpful.

Mild exercise can also be used for those who are suffering from various illnesses or disabilities. Hydrotherapy can be very effective for many different types of conditions.
