Pools with counter-current system
Counter-current pool: endless swimming at home
Aquavia Spa counter-current pools are 4 to 6-metre swim spas with an adjustable current to swim on the spot, heated water and a hydrotherapy zone, with no pool construction. Compare the five models below.
COUNTER-CURRENT POOL: ENDLESS SWIMMING AT HOME
In a counter-current pool – often called an endless pool or swim jet pool – you swim on the spot: turbo jets create an adjustable current to swim against in a pool just a few metres long. Our swim spas are counter-current pools of 4 to 6 metres, heated and with hydrotherapy, installed without pool construction.
Adjustable current
From gentle swimming to intensive training.
No pool construction
A ready-made 4 to 6-metre pool.
Real swimming in a small space
The counter-current lets you swim continuously without a long pool.
Training and aqua fitness

Recovery with hydrotherapy
After swimming, the jets of the spa zone relax your muscles.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a counter current swimming pool and what are its benefits?
A counter current pool allows you to swim in place by generating a powerful water flow that creates resistance. It’s ideal for training, rehabilitation, or cardiovascular exercise in compact spaces.
Aquavia Spa's swim spa models integrate this system efficiently, combining it with heating, hydromassage, and digital controls. The result is an all-in-one solution for wellness and sport at home.
What is the difference between a counter current pool and a conventional swimming pool?
A counter current swimming pool is specifically designed for stationary swimming through a continuous water flow. This allows for more intense workouts without needing a full-length lane.
Aquavia Spa's spa and swim spa units are optimized to deliver adjustable resistance, regulated heating, and ergonomic design – ideal for both fitness and relaxation.
Which Aquavia Spa models include a counter current system?
Several Aquavia Spa models include integrated counter current pool technology:
SwimSpa Sky
SwimSpa Amazon
SwimSpa Duo
Fitness Spa
Compact Pool
These models cater to all training levels and offer variable flow systems, adjustable water temperature, and built-in massage jets – a perfect blend of swimming pool and spa.
What are the benefits of training in a counter current swimming pool at home?
Training in a swim spa at home allows for continuous swimming without the need for large installations or travel. It’s an excellent option for improving endurance, technique, and cardiovascular health, while minimizing joint impact.
Aquavia Spa’s systems offer advanced adjustable current resistance, making them ideal for users of all fitness levels. Plus, with integrated heating and hydromassage, they deliver a complete sport and wellness experience in one compact unit.
How does the counter current system in a swim spa work?
The system creates a steady stream of water that allows you to swim without moving forward. In Aquavia Spa’s spa and swimming pool models, the flow intensity is adjustable to suit your preferences and training goals.
This can be enhanced with LED lighting, a touchscreen control panel, and thermal covers – maximizing both performance and comfort.
Is a counter current pool suitable for rehabilitation or physiotherapy?
Absolutely. A counter current swimming pool is highly effective for physiotherapy and functional rehabilitation. The combination of water resistance and controlled flow enables low-impact, effective movement that supports mobility and recovery.
Aquavia Spa’s swims and spa solutions are especially suited for therapeutic use, allowing for adjustable intensity, consistent water temperature, and relaxing hydromassage jets after each session.
Can I install a swim spa in a small space or on a terrace?
The 4-metre models measure 400 × 230 cm, so they fit in small gardens and on patios. On a terrace or roof, first check the load capacity: filled, a swim spa weighs 7,150 kg or more, so have a structural engineer confirm it. See our mini pools.
What maintenance does a counter current swimming pool require?
The counter current system requires minimal maintenance:
Regular filter cleaning
pH level monitoring
Periodic checks on water flow and system efficiency
Aquavia Spa's models are built with high-durability components and many automated processes, making daily use effortless and reducing long-term maintenance costs. Whether you're looking for a swimming pool and spa combination or a compact swim spa, it's a reliable and efficient solution for year-round wellness.
