Hey Guys-
Anyone using one of these fast lanes...I'm looking at getting one and was curious if anyone could offer any feedback. Curious on the two motor options, general comments, and basically any advice one purchasing and the likes.
I don’t have one - I’d love one though.
You may want to also check out Infinite Pool (not sure the spelling). I heard the propellor and current is better but I cannot validate this information.
If you do a search you will see a couple of discussions on the topic…
I just installed one, I believe I am the first in Phoenix to have one. I love it. I think it is like swimming in choppy open water, not really smooth like lap swimming. That is a huge benefit in my opinion as pools are not like real triathlon swimming. I have done many small workouts but have not used it continually for a long swim yet. The mirror at the bottom of the pool is really neat, you can see your stroke and hips in a way that no video camera can capture unless you have real specialized equipment. I have the standard size motor and it is plent fast for me. I am a 1:05 IM swimmer for your reference. I wouldn’t think you’d need to upgrade to the faster motor unless you are :55 min or faster.
The best part is how easy it is to get a swim in now. Every 15-45 minute chunk of time you have around your house can now be a quality swim. I literally walk into my backyard and 1 minute later I am swimming. I swam three times one day on the weekend. I am just swimming more now without any additional commitment in time.
