Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The latest innovation in resistance swimming, the iPool acts like an extremely tiny lap pool, helping you get all the exercise you need while taking up only 6 square meters of space--far less than a full-sized pool. The iPool's small swimming tank is made of durable, lightweight fabric and is lined with PVC coating, ensuring that the 1,500 gallons of water stays securely inside. More significantly, the iPool offers a total footprint of roughly 10 by 6.5 feet, about the size of a minivan or SUV. As a result, you can move the iPool to several different locations in your backyard with ease. How does the iPool work? Unlike a full-sized pool, the swimmer doesn't actually move through the water, but instead stays in place thanks to the pool's compact Velcro harness. Once you're strapped in, your movements provide all the resistance you need to boost your heart rate and work your muscles. It's ideal for almost any user, including brand-new swimmers just learning the ropes of certain strokes, such as freestyle, frog style, backstroke, and butterfly; injured athletes looking to rehabilitate from knee surgery; and experienced swimmers who don't have the space for a large lap pool but love the cardio resistance a good swim offers.

The iPool arrives in two medium-size boxes and takes roughly 30 minutes to fully assemble. All you need is a level, smooth indoor or outdoor area that's no smaller than 14.5 by 11.5 feet. It's also easy to clean the iPool thanks to the filter pump system, which works with both tap water and salt-water systems (note: the iPool doesn't include a salt-water kit or chlorine). And indoor users will appreciate the pool cover, which helps minimize humidity when you're not using the pool. Other features include a separately sold heating system, a repair kit, a ladder, and a floor mat. The iPool carries a one-year warranty for the pool and filter.
