Swimming is an ancient sport.
The earliest human civilizations developed near the water. Our relationships with the coast has shaped us; from what we eat to how we define beauty.
Written references of swimming date back to ancient times, with the earliest as early as 2000 BC in works like Gilgamesh, the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Bible. Now swimming has developed into a fiercely competitive sport. But it is not always easy to get in the water.
Many families dream of huge backyard pools to host parties and summer barbecues. But these pools lack something that larger pools offer; swimming lanes and organized depths.
Active swimmers must persuade themselves to pay exorbitant monthly gym fees to fight for lane time in over-chlorinated and over crowded pools. Many wonder, what’s the alternative? For such great exercise, is there another option?
Imagine your own private swimming pool. You walk onto your back patio, dip your toes into what feels like a perfect spa (less chlorine than standard tap water).

Eric Vorm has had an endless pool for many years. His favorite exercise is swimming against the current. As it starts pressuring him against the rear wall, he lurches forward. Taking a few powerful strokes, he stabilizes in the strong water. before I felt stable in the water. With extra effort, I push myself to the front with strong stokes and nearly brush my fingers on the front grate. The 5-horsepower propulsion unit is forceful enough for an endurance workout. However, you’re not pressured or scared to keep swimming. You can pause and take a breather!
