See how you can do swim workout in your backyard pool with a cheap Endless Pool aka Swimfinity #workout #endlesspool #swimfinity #swim #swimming #fitness #backyard #pool #diypool
Finally a test video of the Bestway in which there's a person who can actually swim. Thank you for that. It seems to be working well. You Swimming technique shows als lot of experience. I consider buying the Bestway instead of an Endless pool. (€1000 vs. €11.000 investment) I do have Two questions: 1. Is the pace shown the maximum speed of the machine? 2. Did you already visit the pool (25m?) and what can you tell about your current laptimes?

Thanks for the good feedback - much appreciated. Regarding your questions - the pace shown is the maximum speed of the machine. My Fenix 5x together with the Swimsports+ app shows in Generic InPlace mode a speed of 1:22 min. I guess that the speed of 1:15 min has been measure somewhere very close to the propeller. There is no current lap time as I have not been to a 25m pool in recent years and I do not plan to go back as it is too inconvenient for me as I need to spend 2x 15+min for travel, getting changed and other stuff. Opening times are the second challenge ;) My best time for 100m freesryle has been 0:59 min and I could swim 5,5km in 60 min (25m pool) in former times

Can I ask how often you use the unit and is it still working well? Any or much maintenance needed?

I have been using the machine like 2 times a week during spring and summer. Typically I have been swimming between 1,5-2km in each session with splits into never less than 200m. Machine still does work well and I die not do any maintenance at all - other than taking it out of the pool during off-season. It is a machine for the whole family - given everybody enjoys swimming

Hello, thanks for your video! Is the pace mentionned by the machine (ie 1'30 / 100 m or 1'16/100 m) realistic compare to the pace you swim in a regular pool ? For example, what would your pace be if you had swum your 4x400 workout in a regular pool ? Thanks for your feeback !

I tried to measure the speed of the current - drop a ball in the current and stop the time for the ball to cross 1,3 meter distance. Because this should be the speed of the current at the intensity level 8 - 1,3m/s. Non-scientifical time measurement was around 1,2ish seconds for the distance. So not too far off

@@berndp7474 In order to figure out what pace can be really reached using swimfinity, it would help me to know what is your usual 100m lap time when you swim 10x 100m or 4 x 400m in a normal pool (25 or 50 meter long). This way I will be able to compare with my own lap time and figure out if Swimfinity is a good buy for me ;-). Thanks in advance for your reply.

@@Sons_relaxants I think my answer is going to disappoint you. I cannot tell you these times because until August 2020 I did not swim at all for more than a decade in any pool. Before this I was training 5x week and competed every weekend - enough races for 2 lifes... My best time for 400 medley has been 4:55min (25m lane). From my experience with the machine so far I got the impression that it is good for longer distances like 400+m. Anything below will not bring enough cardio benefits. For me the machine is an inexpensive re-entry into swimming and I have the benefit that I train at any time that is convenient for me saving me the hassle of commuting to a public pool. And I do not need to train for any competition at all. Once I open my pool again mid-/end April I might have more findings for you

I tried the bestway swimfinity, but i was really disapointed. For me it's litteraly impossible to swim. Even at full power, the current is really slow. Is there any tips ?

Sorry to hear. Some questions to narrow down the root cause. Does your pool have the necessary minimum dimensions? Is the water level indicator on the side of the machine level with your water level? Did you use the machine without a swimsuit? Did you swim Freestyle (as the counter current stream is narrow being able to swim fairly straight in front of the machine is really necessary)? Looking forward to your answer

@@berndp7474 I have a bestway 4x2m. The machine is immerged as yours. I bought a second one, i hope i will have more power if i set both together, but maybe it's stupid. I swim freestyle too. It's enough powerfull for breastsroke. I don't use swimsuite neither. But i think it should we worst with it. My best time in freestyle 400m was 4'34 and it was a long time ago.

Please remember that Swimfiinitys manual states the following as minimum dimensions for a pool - length >4,57m (15'), width >2,44m (8'), depth >1m (39,5') But what is your main challenge while swimming? If you can swim faster than 1:17min/100m for quite some time - like 1500m - I would guess the machine might not be for you. Please remember not to use a Neopren swim suit as the strongly improved position of your body in the water contradicts the use of the machine
