What Is the Best 17-Foot to 19-Foot Swim Spa?

The 17-19 foot range offers some of the largest swim spas on the market, ideal for those who want ample space for swimming, exercising, or relaxing.

Whether you’re looking for an advanced swim system, hydrotherapy jets, or customizable seating arrangements, this size range has the widest variety of options available. You can get one long swim spa or you can get one that combines a swim spa and a separate hot tub (known as a dual-temp in the industry).

In this article, we’ll break down some of the best models in this category, exploring the pros and cons of each so you can find the best fit for you. We are going to talk about our competitors here – in nice ways! – which might seem unusual. But at Hydropool, we want anyone buying a swim spa to get themselves a good one, whether it’s one of ours or not.

Here's a quick overview of what we will cover:

• Top swim spas in the 17-19 foot range
• Features that make them stand out, such as swim current systems, hydrotherapy, and seating options
• Pros and cons of each model to help you decide which is the best for your needs
