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.
