The Treadmill For Swimmers
By budda on Saturday, April 22nd, 2006 comments
Not enough space for a swimming pool in your house? If you're short on space but fancy a splash in the morning, an Endless Pool might be what you need to keep you fit and impress people when you say you've got a house with a pool!
The Endless Pool is a "counter-current" swimming and water exercise machine that is small enough to fit inside a home or business.
The Pool features an adjustable current that allows you to swim or exercise at your own pace. The current is broad and deep, and is suitable to every swimming ability and fitness need. You can also set the temperature precisely, based on preferences and needs.
Operating costs are about the same as a hot tub, but with the added exercise benefits!
The Endless Pool propulsion unit can move a huge amount of water -- up to 5,000 gallons a minute -- through two grills that straighten and smooth the water's flow. The result is a river-like current that is totally adjustable in speed from a gentle flow to a racer's pace by simply turning a knob.
Sounds insane but at the same time a nifty idea for the water lovers.
Check out the pool in action with the free DVD available on request from endlesspools.com, and if you get one installed we'd love to hear your comments about it!

Very Nifty.
Saw one of these mentioned recently
[...] [Endless Pools found via Gadget Spy] [...]
[...] I have been known to do exercise, once or twice in my life, and what I discovered is, it can be damn boring unless you try something new every once and a while. The Endless Pool, creates a artificial current, which you can then swim against, causing a never ending pool effect. Another great function, is that it doesn’t require much space and can simulate any size pool, so if you are training for any reason (even swimming cross country sort of thing) this pool can be a great help. It can pump up to 5,000 gallons a minute, and operating cost’s are about the same as a hot tub. As a added bonus, it can also regulate temperature precisely, and water flow, depending on user preference. I personally,ÃÂ am a terrible swimmer (great sinker though), and seeing this thing will cost threw the roof prices, i’ll stick to my standard treadmill. For more info, swim overÃÂ to the Gadget Spy Website. [...]
This is a awesome idea, but at the same time kind of scares me. I'm a terrible swimmer and endless swimming would kill me. I know, i'm just a big scaredy cat.
