Yes. The Ultraswim panel design can be installed above or below ground without any additional support.
Resistance Swimming Pools
Resistance swimming pools, also known as training swimming pools or exercise pools, provide a convenient, efficient, and cost-effective solution for any swimmer looking to improve their technique and performance.
These pools utilise a propulsion system, working in tandem with a motor, to produce a current for the user to swim against, effectively emulating the experience of swimming against a river-type current within the safety of a swimming pool.
As the swimmer remains more or less stationary while swimming against the power of the current, the swimming pool doesn’t have to be as large as a typical pool used for swimming lengths.
Alternatively, propulsion systems can be seamlessly integrated into specially designed pools such as the pre-plumbed ultra flow pool, the tilestone trainer pool, or the plunge pool system, providing an all-in-one solution for installation. Additionally, these systems are adaptable for both above-ground and below-ground installations, making them suitable for a variety of settings.

How much does it cost to install a pool resistance system?
A realistic budget would be 2-2.5 times the value of the pool kit. We would recommend an approved pool dealer attends your location to ascertain site and installation conditions.
What maintenance is required?
As the motor is fully submersed in pool water the low-cost sacrificial anode must be replaced on an annual basis to protect the motor housing.
How much does it cost to run?
Only 1500 Watts of power is required to run the Ultraflow.
How does it compare to other propulsion systems?
We strongly recommend scheduling a trial swim to allow you to make informed comparisons. Your decision to purchase should be guided by the unique swimming experience it offers for the entire family. It’s crucial to ensure that the flow and speed provided by the pool align precisely with your needs and preferences. For instance, experiencing the performance of our twin super swim jet system firsthand during your trial swim can greatly aid in making the right choice.
How do I access or change the motor in the future?
Once the water level has been reduced, the complete motor system can be removed from the GRP housing.
How is the Ultraflow controlled?
The Ultraflow is supplied with a remote control unit with a 15m range (dependent on site conditions), utilising a hand-held key fob the operator can adjust the speed in 2-4% increments .
Are training swimming pools worth it?
A resistance exercise pool is a worthy investment if you or your customer take their swimming and health seriously and want to improve. Resistance/training pools take up much less space than conventional pools, making them easier to install and maintain than a traditional lap pool.
What is the cheapest resistance swimming pool?
The cheapest way to obtain a resistance swimming pool from scratch is to purchase an all-in-one Ultra Swim Pool System. This kit includes the pool shell, as well as all necessary fittings and propulsion system. If you already have a swimming pool in place, then you may be able to retrofit the swim jets or propulsion system.
Are training swimming pools noisy?
Whilst both the motor and water filtration system do produce noise it becomes insignificant as the noise of the person who is swimming offsets any background noise. All electrical propulsion systems (excluding hydraulic motor systems) operate with a subtle purr that many find surprisingly quiet.
Can resistance swimming pools use salt water?
Unfortunately not, many manufacturers no longer offer a warranty if a saltwater system is applied in order to ensure the longevity of your resistance swimming pool.
Do resistance swimming pools have heaters?
Heating needs to be purchased separately as there are different types of heaters on the market. A 3-4.5kW electric heat will be suitable or a 9-12kW electric heat pump is the most cost-effective way of heating the pool from May-September. Talk to your dealer for further advice.
How warm do resistance swimming pools get?
Resistance swimming pools such as our ultra flow propulsion system can be heated with a wide range of pool heaters, so most pool operators heat the pool between 25-29 deg C. Max temperature for liner pools is 32 deg C.
How long will a swimming training pool last?
The Ultraswim pool panels have a 10-year warranty but are expected to last in excess of 25 years. Liners will need replacing every 7-10 years depending on water chemistry and usage.
How much space does a resistance swimming pool need?
The Ultraswim pool measures 4.86 x 2.13 x 1.22m but you will need to add 250-300mm to each dimension for excavation.
Can you put a swimming training pool in the basement?
