As a leading global manufacturer of premium swim spas and exercise pools, Crystal Island is committed to helping individuals and families embrace healthier lifestyles through accessible, low-impact aquatic exercise. Whether through our industry-leading Riptide® Collection or the versatile Oasis Spas® Collection, we offer innovative solutions that make it easier than ever to stay active, recover faster, and enjoy year-round wellness in the comfort of your home.
Aquatic exercise refers to cardiovascular training, strength conditioning, and flexibility movements performed in waist- to chest-deep water. The natural resistance, buoyancy, and stability provided by water create a safe, low-impact workout environment suitable for all fitness levels—from beginners to seasoned athletes.
Common aquatic fitness activities include:
In water, movements require more effort while placing less stress on muscles and joints, allowing for effective training without discomfort or risk of injury.
While traditional pools offer ample room for water fitness, Crystal Island swim spas and exercise pools feature adjustable, stable counter-current systems that make them highly suitable for continuous, controlled, and customizable aquatic training. Whether you prefer gentle aqua jogging or more intensive swim conditioning, our technology provides the versatility you need.
Crystal Island offers two advanced counter-current options to support aquatic exercise:
This system produces a wide, natural, and smooth water flow that closely simulates open-water swimming. With 10 adjustable speed levels and a powerful output of up to 15,000 L/min, it enables users to tailor their training intensity—from light aquatic movement to endurance-focused swim sessions.
Our 3-inch swim jets provide a strong, targeted stream of water, also with 10 adjustable speed levels, making them an excellent alternative for users who want an efficient, compact swimming and exercise solution. These jets allow for walking, jogging, stretching, or resistance workouts in a controlled aquatic environment.
In addition to aquatic workouts, swim spas produced by Crystal Island feature ergonomic seating, warm-water options, and flexible interior layouts that provide an ideal environment for resistance exercises, stretching routines, and post-workout recovery.
Regardless of your age or fitness goals, aquatic workouts offer numerous advantages that make them one of the most effective and enjoyable forms of exercise.
Training in chest-deep water engages the entire body. Water resistance increases calorie burn while minimizing impact on joints—including knees, hips, and the lower back.
Aquatic exercise simultaneously improves cardiovascular health, muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility. With adjustable water flow, swim spas or exercise pools produced by Crystal Island allow you to tailor workouts from gentle warm-ups to intense interval sessions.
Extreme outdoor temperatures do not disrupt your routine:
Buoyancy supports your body weight, enabling you to move freely and push harder without strain. This makes aquatic exercise ideal for seniors, individuals recovering from injury, and anyone seeking a safe, sustainable fitness program.
From aqua aerobics to strength training with resistance bands, the possibilities are extensive. Crystal Island’s exercise pools provide a dedicated space for swimming practice and continuous aquatic workouts, while the swim spas combine adjustable water flow for training with warm-water zones for stretching and relaxation. Both options support a wide range of aquatic exercise routines to fit different home fitness needs.
Water makes exercise feel enjoyable, light, and playful. Many of our customers report that aquatic workouts keep them consistent because they genuinely look forward to their sessions.
