Athletics Hydrotherapy Pool FAQs
As an athletics leader, you’re measured on availability, performance, and speed of return-to-play. SwimEx hydrotherapy and performance pools give athletic trainers and strength staffs a controllable environment for low-impact conditioning, active recovery, and prehab/rehab—right inside the training facility.
Whether you’re planning a new athletic training room or upgrading an existing space, comparing pools vs. underwater treadmills, mapping RTP protocols, or weighing throughput, staffing, and ROI, this FAQ answers the key questions athletic trainers and facility managers ask before adding SwimEx to collegiate and pro programs.
What are the benefits of hydrotherapy pools for athletic recovery and rehabilitation?
Hydrotherapy pools help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and accelerate muscle recovery. The buoyancy of water reduces joint stress, allowing athletes to begin rehabilitation sooner and with less pain compared to land-based therapy.
How does a SwimEx paddlewheel current compare to jet or propeller systems?
SwimEx’s paddlewheel system creates a smooth, laminar flow that spans the full width of the pool—unlike jet or propeller systems that can produce turbulent or uneven currents that dissipate the further back in the pool you go. Swim jets often feel too strong for frail or acute patients, limiting their therapeutic use. The paddlewheel currentis provides more effective resistance and better training outcomes for athletic rehab and conditioning.
Can multiple athletes use a SwimEx therapy pool at the same time?
Yes, SwimEx therapy pools are designed to treat multiple athletes simultaneously. Trainers can independently manage different zones for individualized treatment based on each athlete’s size, condition, and performance level.
What’s the difference between a therapy pool and a plunge pool?
Therapy pools feature adjustable currents and water depths for active rehab and training, while plunge pools are typically used for passive recovery—hot plunge for muscle relaxation and cold plunge for reducing inflammation and soreness post-activity.
Are SwimEx hydrotherapy pools customizable for my team’s needs?
Absolutely. SwimEx offers a range of models with customization options like built-in treadmills, multiple depths, zero-entry lifts, and observation tools. Pools can be tailored for your facility size, rehab goals, and athlete performance levels.
How much space is needed to install a SwimEx therapy or plunge pool?
SwimEx offers both pre-assembled and sectional pool options, allowing installation in spaces with tight access or unusual layouts. Custom sizing is also available to ensure the pool fits seamlessly into your training or rehab area.
Can SwimEx hydrotherapy pools be installed in existing athletic facilities?
Yes, SwimEx therapy and plunge pools can be integrated into both new builds and renovated spaces. Sectional designs allow for delivery through tight access points, making them ideal for retrofitting existing locker rooms or training centers.
