Known for our exceptional craftsmanship, innovative design, and commitment to quality, Wellis swim spas offer a transformative hydrotherapy experience that goes beyond traditional pools or hot tubs. But don't just take our word for it! Let's look at Wellis swim spa reviews and what our customers have to say.

Why Choose a Wellis Swim Spa?

Before we dive into swim spa reviews, let's look at some of the features that set Wellis apart from other swim spa manufacturers.

1. Unparalleled Design and Innovation

Wellis swim spas are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, combining cutting-edge technology with elegant design. Whether you're looking to elevate your fitness routine with a swim current or simply unwind in a soothing hydrotherapy session, Wellis swim spas cater to a diverse range of needs. The spacious interiors, ergonomic seating, and customizable features ensure that every moment spent in a Wellis swim spa is a delightful experience tailored to your preferences.

2. Energy Efficiency

One standout feature that sets Wellis swim spas apart is our commitment to energy efficiency. These swim spas are designed with advanced insulation materials and energy-efficient components to minimize operational costs while maximizing performance. The insulation technology ensures that the water retains heat efficiently, allowing you to enjoy your swim spa in a comfortable temperature range without excessive energy consumption. This not only contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly choice, it also translates to significant savings on your energy bills over time.

Wellis employs innovative engineering techniques, such as full-foam insulation and high-quality covers, to create a thermal barrier that conserves heat effectively. This means your swim spa retains warmth even in colder weather, extending the usability throughout the year without a substantial increase in energy consumption.

3. Amazon W-Flow Swim Channel

Engineered with precision, the W-Flow system incorporates powerful and adjustable jets strategically positioned to create a consistent water flow, allowing users to swim against a current of their preferred intensity. What sets it apart is the intelligent control that enables personalized adjustments, catering to individual fitness levels and swimming preferences. When looking at our swim spa reviews, you'll see that this is a fan favorite feature.

The system's efficiency is complemented by its energy-saving features, ensuring a sustainable and cost-effective operation. With the Wellis swim spa W-Flow swim channel, users can enjoy a pre-programmed aquatic workout that does not require manual adjustment mid-workout, making it an outstanding choice for those seeking a dynamic and tailored swimming experience.

Danube Swim Spa Reviews

1. Danube Swim Spa Reviews: Laura & Freddie

“I have a son called Freddie, who has a degenerative muscular condition. And during lockdown, I was struggling with Freddie’s condition in that it was progressing quite rapidly. We needed something to do here in the home that would give him a bit of exercise whilst we were shielding. He needed to move, so we decided to see if we could find a swim spa. I phoned around probably 40 or 45 companies throughout the country, seeing if there was anything that was going to be within my budget to help me with this problem that was a very serious problem. The only person I managed to speak to who showed any kindness at all was Harry, from Wellis Spas in Worthing. Harry still pops out throughout the weeks to check that the water levels are right to check that Freddie's getting everything that he needs from the pool. We’ve been in it every single day, and it's been absolutely life-changing especially for Freddie who now is able to access his exercise within the home.”

2. Danube Swim Spa Reviews: Rob

“We're deliriously happy,  it's fantastic.  I swim in it probably about five times a week for an hour so five hours a week mainly front crawl I've got the brownest back I've ever had despite the British weather. The installation was easy, the guys at Willis Sussex were fantastic, Harry was brilliant and it's been easy to maintain and to use on a daily basis. I couldn't be happier.”

3. Danube Swim Spa Reviews: Jenny

“We are thrilled to bits with our swim spa. It's a big decision to make but we were thinking about the pros and cons of whether to get a pool dug or whether to get the swim spa and actually we're so thrilled that we've made the decision that we did. It's so easy to use and because you can put the heat up so easily without spending a fortune heating a whole pool, it means that we can just use it whenever it's cold outside, and the water is still warm and we can still get in the pool and it's absolutely lovely. The other thing about the swim spa is I really like the fact that it's half dug into the ground so it really is very inoffensive, it's nice to look at. We've already recommended the swims bar to friends and family.”

4. Danube Swim Spa Reviews: Angela

“We decided on a swim spa because we were initially replacing a hot tub and we don't really have the space for a swimming pool, so the swim spa seemed to be the best of both worlds for us. And the swim spa certainly has lived up to our expectations. My husband exercises in it as often as possible, and I can also do exercises of some sort or form [even as a non-swimmer]. The best time we've had out of it so far is when we had our granddaughter's ninth birthday party and Molly and her brother Matthew were here with nine of their friends in the spa at the same time; they were here all day and they had such fun it was unbelievable. It was the best party ever.” 

Amazon Swim Spa Reviews

“[Our Amazon] Swim Spa, which was installed in May this year,  has been a truly transformational purchase for the family. We've all very much enjoyed it and it's something that I'm actually glad I purchased — we did have a swimming pool at our old house but this is far, far superior and much easier to maintain. One advantage to my mind of having a swim spa is the fact that it's insulated, so is relatively inexpensive to run, and I particularly like the lids. The children absolutely love the bubbles and the jets, and I’ve found that the speed is particularly good because we can swim in it properly, and we can relax in it. I's become sort of a focal point during the summer for the whole family to get together.”

Rio Grande Swim Spa Reviews

“As a matter of fact, we bought a round pool after our house was built, but we had a lot of trouble with its maintenance. I had to wake up everyday at 5 a.m. to clean it, and soon got bored of it. It underwent renovation several times, the frame and the liner both had to be replaced, but eventually it became completely ruined. That was when we decided to build an inground pool. We quickly received an offer, however it turned out to be double the price than what we had expected. Then we finally found readymade swim spas, including Wellis products. In fact, we use this one much more than the one we had before, it fulfills all my desires. I personally use the swim area the most. It’s the glue of our family, the kids use it as well, they’ve even invited guests over to try it. I think of it as a great investment, since soon we will have grandchildren.” 

Wellis Swim Spa Features

W-Flow System

The available W-flow system offered by Wellis includes six customizable speed levels, ranging from a gentle and comfortable "floating" mode to intense exercise sessions. Similar to programming swimming speeds on a modern treadmill, users can predefine different speeds, creating intervals between swimming sprints for a versatile workout.

The flow rate is adjustable within a range of 0.4 to 2.5 km/h, delivering double the water volume compared to traditional swim spas. The narrow width of the water flow, only 50-60 cm, ensures a focused and balanced swimming experience. With a precise 0° difference between water flow directions and the centerline of the spa, the swimmer experiences perfect balance.

Massage Jets

Massage jets in Wellis swim spas are designed with precision to deliver a rejuvenating hydrotherapy experience. The strategically placed jets are not only intended for relaxation but are also strategically positioned to target specific muscle groups effectively. Users can customize the intensity and focus of the massage, allowing for a tailored and therapeutic soak. Whether you're seeking relief from muscle tension, promoting circulation, or simply indulging in a moment of tranquility, the thoughtfully designed massage jets in Wellis swim spas contribute to an all-encompassing aquatic wellness experience.

Smart Controls 

Smart controls in Wellis swim spas go beyond mere convenience, offering users a seamless and intuitive way to personalize their aquatic experience. The in.touch 2 application provides a user-friendly interface, enabling individuals to not only regulate water temperature and jet intensity but also schedule maintenance tasks, monitor energy usage, and access helpful tips for optimal spa care. This integration of smart technology empowers users to effortlessly create a spa environment tailored to their preferences, fostering a heightened sense of control and enjoyment in every session.

Best Swim Spa Accessories

The right accessories can elevate even the best swim spa experience. From practical essentials to fitness-focused tools, here are some of the best swim spa accessories that will take your aquatic retreat to the next level.

1. Swim Tethers & Resistance Bands

Maximize the benefits of your swim spa workouts with swim tethers and resistance bands. These accessories provide additional resistance, turning your swim spa into a personal fitness center. Swim tethers help you maintain a steady swimming position against the current, perfecting your strokes and building strength. Resistance bands, on the other hand, offer a versatile workout experience, targeting various muscle groups as you move against the resistance of the water. 

2. Swim Spa Cover

A quality swim spa cover is not just a protective shield; it's a key player in maintaining water temperature, cleanliness, and energy efficiency. Invest in a durable cover designed for your swim spa's dimensions to ensure a snug fit. The cover acts as a thermal barrier, preventing heat loss and reducing energy consumption. Additionally, it keeps debris, leaves, and unwanted visitors out of your pristine water, minimizing the need for frequent cleaning. Choose a cover with robust insulation properties, like those engineered by Wellis, to preserve the warmth and clarity of your swim spa water between sessions.

3. Swim Spa Rowing Kit

Transform your swim spa into a dynamic rowing experience with a swim spa rowing kit. This accessory adds a new dimension to your aquatic workouts, engaging your upper body and core muscles. The rowing kit typically includes rowing bars or handles that attach securely to your swim spa's sides, allowing you to perform effective rowing exercises against the resistance of the water current. It's an excellent way to diversify your fitness routine and achieve a full-body workout without leaving the water.

4. Aqua Dumbbells

Bring the benefits of resistance training to your swim spa with aqua dumbbells. These buoyant weights provide resistance as you move them through the water, targeting muscle groups for a comprehensive workout. Aqua dumbbells are particularly effective for toning and strengthening arms, shoulders, and chest. The water's natural resistance ensures a low-impact exercise experience, making it suitable for individuals of all fitness levels. 

5. Swim Spa Steps

Ensure easy and safe access to your swim spa with purpose-built swim spa steps. These steps are designed to complement the aesthetics of your spa while providing a stable platform for entering and exiting the water. Opt for durable, slip-resistant materials for longevity and safety.
