The world of aquatics is taking a major step forward in moving beyond the conventional swimming pool as the preferred medium for aquatic fitness. A brand new range of industry-defining aquatics fitness pools is ready to introduce to the worlds of aquatic fitness and aquatic therapy. Utilizing water as fitness equipment is taking a giant leap forward.
The sports world has long valued the benefits warm water brings for athletes (human and animal) as a healing modality. The stories of famous athletes returning to competition earlier than otherwise possible by using aquatic therapy are well-documented in a variety of publications. Knowing that injuries can come not only through competition, but through training as well, the new range of fitness pools from Vision Aquatics acts as prehabilitation to prevent injury during the training process.
This range of fitness pools are designed to support a wide range of users, from occasional geriatric exercising to highly-intense triathletes to bariatric group exercising. Vision Aquatics fitness pools are designed to support specific activities, from general aquatic exercise to aquatic spinning to circuit training in a pool. Now, aquatic therapy can be migrated into aquatic fitness in such a way that athletes and those in exercise programs can safely achieve their fitness objectives without subjecting themselves to the physical impact often associated with land-based exercise.
There are three types of fitness pools from Vision Aquatics, with each type having various models and options designed to specific applications. Some level of aquatic therapy can be achieved in each of these pools, giving them a dual capability.
Open Water Fitness Pools feature multiple cross-pool propulsion systems against which users can walk, swim, spin, or do floor exercises. The model shown has three different floor levels to support people of different height, and the benches have hydrotherapy jets for relaxing muscles. This pool is for a wide range of users.

Deep water running, stair work, plyometric stations, swimming against current, spinning, running against cants and lateral skating are among the activities supported by this aquatic equipment. This pool is for athletes in cross-training or for those seeking general fitness.
