New AquaSport Swim Spa Debut by Aquatic Fitness Concepts and Dimension One Spas

Oct. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Aquatic Fitness Concepts debuted the newest product by Dimension One Spas (D1 Spas) – the AquaSport 13. The AquaSport is the fourth model in the flagship line of Aquatic Fitness Systems underwater gym/swim spas by the leading innovator in the home spa industry – it is smaller and more versatile than its predecessors, offering  a compact swim spa option with the best features in its class.  

This dynamic, fun, fitness-oriented swim spa was created with exercise science input from Mary Sanders, PhD. the world’s leading expert on water exercise.

The new AquaSport addresses a number of today’s consumer trends including:  
- Anyone looking for low-impact, joint-friendly exercise options.
- At-home exercise as rehab from injuries and illness.
- Consumers downsizing from high-maintenance, in-ground pools but still wanting a year-round at-home swimming/exercise option.  And, homeowners can take swim spas with them if they move.
- Energy and cost efficiency: while the water temperature can easily be adjusted, swim spas have one-half to one-third the energy costs of a regular pool. The AquaSport is the only AFS with patented UV light and ozone water cleaning system.    

While other AFS models range in price from $25,000 to $45,000 and measure 16 to 19 feet long, the new AquaSport is 13 feet long and retails for approximately $18,000. Unique features of the AquaSport:

*  The largest swim lane in its class.
*  A DuraTex shell that won’t crack or blister, even in direct sunlight – the only one of its kind in the industry.
*  A built-in exercise step for lunge exercises and built-in exercise bars for stretching exercises.
*  A standard HydroSport Kit for resistance moves.  Optional: Stretch and Train Kit for weight bearing exercises.
*  A boxed steel frame guaranteed for the life of the product.
*  The only AFS available with the Ultra Pure Water Management System – D1’s award-winning UV light and ozone water purifying system, giving consumers the cleanest, clearest water ever offered in a swim spa.  
*  Fun, sporty look and feel, different than every other plain looking swim spa in the industry.

The website of the Hot Tub Council (HTC) of the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) - highlights findings from the latest scientific research that shows aquatic exercise benefits those suffering from fibromyalgia, diabetes, arthritis, depression, weight management, back pain and more.

“The new AquaSport is really health in motion, explains D1 Senior Designer, Victor Walker.  “It allows people of all ages to experience the benefits of aquatic exercise. “

Mary Sanders, PhD FSM is a professor at the University of Nevada’s School of Medicine and Public Health is known in fitness circles as the “water fitness guru.”  The research her team has done with groups of aquatic exercisers over the years underscores the fact that water can be used as a liquid weight machine with unique benefits.  

“Water’s buoyancy reduces impact and supports the body for increased range of motion,” she explains. “And, the natural resistance of water (the harder you press the harder, the water presses back) provides an individualized personal training environment.  Water’s viscosity or “thickness”, being about 800 times greater than air, makes it an effective exercise environment in which to build muscular endurance.  And using resistance tethers, like those featured in the AFS pool, provides additional core stabilization work.”
