Ultimate Resistance Swimming Pool Training with Guncast
Guncast indoor or outdoor resistance pools offer a perfect blend of luxury and functionality for stress-free training.
What is a resistance swimming pool?
A resistance, endless or swim spa pool, uses a swimming propulsion unit to simulate open water cross-current swimming. It provides a unique exercise experience, where users swim against a counter current without having to turn, which helps the user to maintain swim rhythm and intensity.
This type of pool is ideal for swimmers who want to use their pool for training and exercise. An endless pool generates a smooth and even current that is easy to control, perfect for any ability and intensity.
Exercise pools for health and wellness
Resistance pool exercise offers the same health benefits as lane swimming. Swimming is a low-impact exercise that can improve cardiovascular health, overall fitness and mental health. Regular swimming is thought to help reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and boost mood. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints, making it an ideal exercise option for people with injuries or chronic pain.
Bespoke endless pools can also be equipped with an underwater treadmill for low-impact walking and running, or a bike for aqua cycling for a more intensive workout.

Resistance Pools: Your Questions Answered
Where can I install an endless pool?
Anywhere you can install a pool! Any swimming pool can have the added feature of a counter current unit making this a versatile option for anyone wanting to use their pool for exercise.
How does the counter current work?
A counter current system has variable speeds that can be changed at the touch of a button. It consists of a powerful nozzle that creates a strong current for the user to swim against. The system can be installed in pools of all types and sizes.
How long does a resistance pool last?
Our pools are designed for long-term durability, with a concrete shell that can last several decades. We offer a 10-year warranty on the shell, 3 years on finishes, and 1 year on filtration systems. Proper maintenance ensures your pool remains a lasting investment.
Is My Garden Suitable for a resistance Pool?
Most gardens can accommodate a pool with the right planning. Considerations include site access, soil type, and water table. Our design team can assess your garden and provide tailored solutions to overcome any challenges.
Can I have a chlorine-free resistance pool?
A truly chlorine-free pool is unlikely unless you opt for a natural pool with reed beds. Conventional pools require chlorine for hygiene, though alternative disinfection methods like ozone systems can reduce chlorine levels significantly. Saltwater pools also produce chlorine via electrolysis. In summary, chlorine is necessary to ensure water safety.
