A residential aquatic system combines features of a swimming pool and a hot tub, often smaller than a traditional pool but offering adjustable current for exercise and therapy. These units provide a space-saving solution for aquatic fitness and relaxation. They are typically self-contained and can be installed indoors or outdoors.
The significance of these systems lies in their ability to provide a comprehensive workout and therapeutic experience within a limited space. They offer a controlled environment for swimming, resistance training, and hydrotherapy, accessible year-round. Historically, these devices have evolved from basic whirlpool tubs to sophisticated fitness and relaxation centers.
