Consumer Feedback: Read Amazon Consumer Reviews on the iPool Above Ground Exercise Swimming Pool.

Who Would Buy This: Those shopping for an above ground pool that allows you to exercise in limited spaces by resistance swimming.

Pros:

The iPool is made of highly durable materials to sufficiently sustain its 1,500 gallon water capacity. The tank is constructed of lightweight fabric lined with a vinyl PVC coating. The powder coated metal tubing is made from galvanized metal for superior strength.

Compact Design – The iPool has a footprint of just 7 ft W x 10 ft L so it’s significantly smaller than a full size swimming pool.

For installation you will need an area at least 14.5 ft x 11.5 ft x 8 ft. Setting up the pool takes only about 30-60 minutes with two people. You will need a flat level surface area to place it on. The pool can be used indoors, but you need to ensure that the surface area can withstand 1 ton of water.

The unique appeal of the iPool is the ability to swim against a harness so you can swim at your own pace all within a small area of just 6 square meters. By simply changing the harness position, you can increase the resistance level to make your swim more challenging. The harness can fit waist sizes from 22-42 inches so it can accommodate both children and adults. The harness attaches to your torso using Velcro so it is very secure and easy to adjust.

Customer service from FixMax is high quality and quick to respond as consumers have attested to.

Cons:

The included pump isn’t very good as it doesn’t move the water effectively. We recommend a compatible pump such as the Intex 637R (56637EG) for more efficient maintenance.

Summary

This pool has a very innovative design which is impressive. Whether you’re a rookie swimmer who wants to enhance their swimming skills or someone who knows every stroke like the back of their hand, the iPool Above Ground Exercise Swimming Pool is a fantastic way to get the benefits of low impact swimming exercises without the high cost or space needed of a full-sized pool.

The portability aspect is a noteworthy mention. Unlike a lap pool you can move this to another area relatively easily.

If you want to use the iPool all year round then we recommend the optional heater upgrade. However, you will need a 220-volt GFCI outlet for this.
