SUP training in your own pool –
HydroStar transforms small pools into versatile training spaces
A customer from Tyrol has impressively demonstrated just what a small garden pool is capable of. In his pool, which measures just 5.0 by 3.0 metres, he simply lies down on a SUP board as soon as everything’s up and running and starts paddling. In front of him, a HydroStar BGA 550 m³/h ensures a steady, broad flow rate, which is suitable for more than just swimming. This turns the pool into a training ground that feels just like open water – only right on the doorstep. This workout challenges not just the arms, but the whole body. The result is highly efficient training in a compact body of water, with great fun guaranteed. Counter-current systems are therefore much more than just an aid for endurance swimming. As well as SUP training, aqua fitness, rehabilitation exercises and fun workouts with children are also possible.
Stability, strength and coordination in the water
Anyone who lies on a SUP board and paddles will quickly realise just how versatile this form of exercise is. Every movement stabilises the core, helps develop balance and improves coordination. The muscles in the shoulders, back and abdomen are constantly at work. At the same time, paddling sharpens your sense of the current and water resistance. With HydroStar, you can carry out this training in a structured way in your own pool. The current remains constant and predictable; breaks and intervals are possible at any time. The result is a full-body workout that can be easily incorporated into your daily routine.
A current that suits your training
HydroStar is a turbine-driven counter-current system that generates a wide, powerful current. Unlike with localised jet systems, the stream of water surrounds the body evenly. This is a huge advantage for SUP training. The board sits more steadily in the water, movements remain controllable, and the rider can concentrate fully on technique and rhythm. The current rate can be adjusted on every turbine swimming system, creating a current suitable for both light technical training and demanding strength sessions. The systems can be conveniently controlled using a piezo switch, the remote control or the BINDER24 app. This way, pool owners can keep their training under control at all times.
New ideas that impress
This usage scenario opens up new possibilities. Turbine swimming systems are not only suitable for swimming, but also serve as a multifunctional training system, offering everything in a single product: they combine swimming, aqua fitness and training on a board. This way, you can get a full-body workout even whilst paddling lying down. And the Tyrolean customer’s pool, measuring 5.0 by 3.0 metres, shows that even small pools are ideally suited for this purpose. This is particularly appealing to customers with limited garden space. The compact design, which does not require a separate technical room, significantly reduces installation work.
MORE training options in your own garden
This example, set against this impressive mountain backdrop, clearly illustrates the potential that lies in combining sporting activities with a counter-current system. A small private pool is transformed into a versatile training space for balance, coordination and strength, promoting greater physical activity and better quality of life in your own garden.
