Which countercurrent system is right for you?
Swim your way to fitness with the right countercurrent system
Countercurrents offer an effective way to improve your swimming skills without the need for an Olympic pool. But with so many options on the market, how do you choose the system that works best for you? This article covers Swimm's various countercurrent system options that can take your training to the next level.
1. Swimm Classic: Perfect for beginners and relaxed swimmers
The first model in our range, the Swimm Classic, was designed with the novice swimmer in mind. The Classic has a grid size of 50 x 50 cm, which means that more water can flow under the swimmer, resulting in a certain amount of buoyancy and therefore a more comfortable swimming experience. It is ideal for swimmers who are learning to refine their technique or for whom swimming is a form of relaxation.
2. Swimm Professional: For the ambitious amateur to advanced swimmer
The Swimm Professional is the next-level model in the lineup. With the grille that has been enlarged to 60 x 40 cm, a wider swimming area is created that offers more space. The Professional offers a considerable challenge with speeds of up to 1 minute 12 seconds per 100 meters and is tailored for the swimmer who wants to push their limits, including triathletes..
3. Swimm Olympic: The ultimate choice for top athletes
The Olympic is the fastest model and is designed for diehard swimmers and professional athletes. It achieves speeds of up to an astonishing 55 seconds per 100 metres and has a 60 x 40 cm grid. What makes the Olympic unique is the dual propeller in the power flow, which offers an extremely smooth and laminar flow — a blessing for swimmers who strive for an almost natural aquatic environment.
Countercurrent vs. other systems
Swim vs. Jetstream
The Swimm counter-current system is often compared to the older jet stream systems. However, jet streams use a large pump to spray high-pressure water into a narrow stream, which is not controllable and is often experienced as uncomfortable. Swim's innovative power flow, on the other hand, creates a large, laminating flow that makes for a much more enjoyable swimming experience.
Swim vs. Turbine
In the confrontation with turbine systems, Swimm clearly comes out on top. A turbine uses a compact propeller and produces high-turbulence streams of water, resulting in an unpleasant swimming experience compared to Swim's smooth and powerful laminar water flow.
Health and Technology: Extra Benefits of a Swimm
A Swimm is not only great for training, but also promotes a healthy lifestyle. Swimming, a sport suitable for all ages, is made lighter by the water and is therefore an excellent option for body awareness and relaxation. With Swim's advanced technologies, you'll enjoy durability and comfort all year round — whether you choose a three- or four-season heat pump to keep your pool at an ideal temperature.
Conclusion
Choosing the right countercurrent system is critical to improving your swimming performance and fun. Whether you're a leisure swimmer, a competitive athlete, or somewhere in between, Swimm offers options for every type of swimmer. Consider your goals, test different systems, and choose the model that best suits your swimming style and ambitions.
