Swim Spas

Swim, exercise, and relax — all year round. Hydropool swim spas engineered for fitness and hydrotherapy in any Lubbock backyard.

A Pool, Gym & Spa in One

A swim spa gives you the best of all worlds: a powerful swim current for exercise, hydrotherapy jets for recovery, and warm water you can enjoy 365 days a year — even through a West Texas winter. All in a fraction of the space and cost of a traditional pool.

Why a Swim Spa?

Swim Spa vs. Traditional Pool

Swim Spa Advantage

Year-Round Use

Heat your swim spa to any temperature and use it every day of the year — through Lubbock summers and winter cold snaps alike. A pool sits empty for months.

Swim Spa Advantage

Fraction of the Cost

No excavation, no permits, no months-long construction. A swim spa installs in days and costs a fraction of an in-ground pool — with lower monthly upkeep.

Swim Spa Advantage

Real Exercise

Adjustable current lets you swim in place at your own pace. Better for training than a pool where you just touch a wall and turn around every few strokes.

Swim Spa Advantage

Hydrotherapy Built In

Dual-zone models include a full hot tub section with massage jets. Swim laps, then slide over and recover — all without leaving the water.

Common Questions

Swim Spa FAQ

What is a swim spa and how is it different from a hot tub?
A swim spa combines the relaxation of a hot tub with a powerful current that lets you swim in place — like a treadmill for swimming. Swim spas are typically 12–19 feet long, with a swim area on one end and a hydrotherapy seating area on the other. They're perfect for year-round exercise, aquatic therapy, and family fun without needing a full-size pool.
How much does a swim spa cost in Lubbock?
Swim spas typically range from $15,000 to $40,000+ depending on size, features, and whether it's a single-zone or dual-zone model. Hydropool swim spas, which we carry at Alcoe, are known for their self-cleaning technology and energy efficiency, offering excellent long-term value. Visit our showroom for current pricing and financing options.
Can I use a swim spa year-round in West Texas?
Absolutely. Swim spas are fully insulated and heated, so you can swim, exercise, and soak in any weather — even during Lubbock's coldest nights. The water temperature is adjustable from cool swimming temps around 80°F up to hot tub temperatures of 104°F. Dual-zone models let you keep the swim side cool and the spa side hot simultaneously.
How much space do I need for a swim spa?
Most swim spas require a flat area of roughly 8×15 to 8×20 feet, plus a few feet on each side for access. You'll need a reinforced concrete pad or compacted gravel base to support the weight (typically 10,000–15,000 lbs when filled). We help you plan the placement, electrical requirements, and access for delivery during your consultation.
How much does it cost to run a swim spa monthly?
Monthly operating costs for a well-insulated swim spa in Lubbock average $50–$100, depending on usage and temperature settings. Hydropool's self-cleaning filtration system reduces maintenance effort and chemical costs. Energy-efficient insulation and covers keep heating costs manageable even in winter.
Is a swim spa good for exercise and physical therapy?
Swim spas are excellent for low-impact exercise and rehabilitation. The adjustable current lets you swim, walk, or do aquatic exercises at your own pace. Water buoyancy reduces stress on joints by up to 90%, making swim spas ideal for arthritis, back pain, post-surgery recovery, and general fitness — all from the comfort of your backyard.
