Can I swim in a Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spa?
Absolutely! The Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spa series was designed with input from the 23-time Gold medalist to provide a superior swim experience. The MP series features a depth of 60 inches to accommodate any stroke, and the contoured design channels the current to allow for a smooth flow of water. Check out this link to see Michael training in his swim spa.
How strong is the current?
Most swim spas have three settings: low speed, high speed and off. The Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spas feature the patented Wave XP Pro Propulsion System with variable speed control. With current settings from 0 to 100, you can find the ideal speed for you to swim, exercise or train against.
Is the H2Xercise Fitness System included with my swim spa?

When my swim spa gets delivered, where will I find my H2Xercise Fitness System?

Do you make a model with both a swim spa and hot tub?
Yes, the MP Momentum™ has two separate bodies of water (some refer to this as dual temperature). One side is the swim spa, which is usually kept at a cooler temperature. The other side is a hot tub containing a variety of therapy seating that is usually kept at a warmer temperature.
All Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spas by Master Spas contain some sort of therapy seating and therapy jets but the MP Momentum™ is the only dual temperature model.
