On yesterday’s OLN coverage of IM CDA there were several commercials for the Infinite Pools. Anyone have any input, research, preference between the Endless Pool and the Infinite Pools?

Judging from the title, I thought this was gonna be an “Immovable object vs. the Irresistible Force” type of thread. Turns out its about “bathtubs”.
Based on their website, the Infinite pools are about the same price (approx. $17,000) as the Endless.
There is another competitor, Medallion Pools.com, at about 1/2 the price. The specs look very competitive with the others. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this product?

personally i’d go for the endless pool… i don’t think i could stand swimming in a figure 8.
You are probably aware, but in case you are not there was a review of the endless pool on this site. http://www.slowtwitch.com/cgi-bin/parse.pl?url=http://www.slowtwitch.com/mainheadings/prodreview/newproduct/endlesspool.html&text=endless%20pool
Cheers,
Interesting. I had never heard of medallion, either. I guess the real question is how well the ExerSwim propulsion works. After all, the pool isn’t the important part. How well the propulsion system works would seem to be the key.
I’d love to hear from someone who has used the Medallion/ExerSwim system. It is far cheaper.
I’ve had an Endless Pool for around 3 years now. My wife and I use it all the time. I’ve gone from only swimming in the EP straight into an IM swim without any problems whatsoever. They can be boring, but they’re also great for continuous swimming (no turns.) I have the longer, wider one with a deep end. If you can swing the bucks, I’d highly recommend it.
