Swim spas, those delightful hybrids that blend the best of both swimming pools and hot tubs, are the ultimate setting for a memorable gathering.
Whether you’re hosting a summer pool party or a cozy winter soak, swim spas offer a unique aquatic experience. To help you plan a successful swim spa gathering, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide with essential tips and tricks.
- Send Invitations:
The key to a successful swim spa gathering is preparation, and that starts with your guest list. Send out invitations with a number of guests in mind. Some SwimLife™ swim spas can seat 9 guests! In your invitations, be sure to specify if there’s a theme. - Safety First:
Establish clear safety guidelines and communicate them to your guests. Make sure everyone understands the rules regarding the swim spa’s operation and usage to prevent accidents. Keep in mind guests that may have a health condition that prevents them from soaking in hot water, or pregnant women. - Comfort and Amenities:
To make your swim spa gathering enjoyable, create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere:
Seating: Arrange comfortable seating areas near the swim spa where guests can relax, chat, and enjoy refreshments.
Music: Set the mood with a playlist of your favorite tunes. Waterproof or portable speakers are a great addition.
Lighting: If your gathering extends into the evening, consider using the LED lights in your SwimLife™ swim spa – they are color changing, and you can adjust the brightness.
Refreshments: Have a designated area for snacks and drinks. Floating drink holders are a fun and practical touch.
- Fun Poolside Activities:
Keep your guests entertained with engaging poolside activities:
Water Games: Organize water volleyball, water polo, or floating board games. These activities are perfect for all ages and skill levels.
Floating Decor: Inflatable floats, rafts, and pool toys can add an extra layer of fun and relaxation.
Relaxation Station: Create a space with towels, sunscreen, and shade options for guests who want a break from the water.
- Weather Considerations:
Be prepared for different weather conditions. Have a backup plan in case of rain or excessive sun. We also sell shaded structures, like the Covana electric cover, and outdoor umbrellas.
- Food and Drinks:
Plan a menu that suits the season and the vibe of your gathering. Grilled barbecue in the summer or a cozy hot cocoa station in the winter can be delightful. Finger foods and easy-to-handle snacks can work well for gatherings. Don’t forget to provide options for dietary restrictions and preferences.
- Cleanliness & Maintenance:
Maintaining clean water is essential for any swim spa gathering. Ensure your swim spa’s water is properly treated and balanced before the event. Have extra towels and a shower area available for guests to rinse off before and/or after using the swim spa.
