Which swim spa brands should I compare?
Asked by Hot Tub Hunt Pros•August 12, 2026
Who actually makes swim spas worth looking at?
Pro Answer
The swim spa market is smaller than the hot tub market, and a handful of manufacturers account for most units sold. Names you will encounter include Endless Pools, Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spas (built by Master Spas), PDC Spas, TidalFit, Hydropool, Jacuzzi, Bullfrog, and American Whirlpool. How to narrow the list: - **Start with propulsion type.** Decide whether you need propeller-class current or whether a strong jet system is enough; that alone splits the field. - **Check local dealer coverage.** Swim spas need service. A brand with no dealer within a reasonable drive is a long-term problem regardless of specs. - **Compare length, width, and depth** rather than jet counts, which are not comparable across brands. - **Read the warranty** for shell structure, surface, plumbing, and equipment separately — the headline number usually covers only the structure. Browse swim spa models and brands on Hot Tub Hunt to compare specifications side by side and see which are carried near you.
