No room for a pool?

If you’re finding the heat unbearable, or want to do some aquatic exercise, consider a back yard pool. No room? How about one of those long, thin lap pools? Still no?

Try an endless pool! The space saving solution you’ve been hoping for! You can swim, and swim, and never get anywhere!

Very Cool! How did you come across them

Well, I certainly wasn’t searching for them! Swimming is the last thing on my mind! Brrrrr. I saw it advertised in a magazine and it gave me the giggles.<br><br>Gerrod thinks if he had one he would let it push him against the wall and then just pretend it was a spa bath.

The movie <a href="http://www.endlesspools.com/whatis/what_gattaca.html">Gattaca</a> , I thought, was the debut of them. I always wondered if it really was like a treadmill in that if you stopped running (or swimming in this case) did you just slam against whatever was behind you (i.e. the pool wall)?

They apparently have all different levels of difficulty, which I assume just controls the power of the jets. So I guess your "wall slam" would depend on how hard the jets are running…
