At Hydroscape Pools we design pools that do more than look beautiful. A BaduJet swim resistance system turns a backyard pool into a personal aquatic fitness and training center: an adjustable, powerful current that lets you swim continuously in place, walk against resistance, or simply float and let the water work on a sore back.

BaduJet systems are made by Speck Pumps in Jacksonville, Florida and have been the standard in counter-current swimming for decades. They install with flush-mounted, anti-entrapment fittings in fiberglass, vinyl liner and gunite pools, in new construction or as a retrofit. For a homeowner whose yard will not take a 40-foot lap pool, a 30-foot fiberglass shell with a BaduJet is often the better answer.

What a Swim Jet Does for You

The benefits of a swim-current system:

  • Full-body, low-impact cardiovascular exercise
  • Builds strength, endurance and swimming efficiency
  • Adjustable resistance for customized workouts
  • Lap swimming and swim training without a lap pool
  • Joint-friendly exercise and water walking for rehab
  • A serious workout without leaving home, in a pool the whole family still uses

Most systems also include a therapy hose attachment for targeted massage, and the larger units create lazy-river and choppy-water effects that kids treat as a water park.

BaduJet Models We Install

Speck builds a range of counter-current units so the system can match the pool and the swimmer:

  • BaduStream II: single, dual or triple adjustable jets, the most flexible option for fiberglass shells.
  • BADUJET Super-Sport II: dual nozzle system in a single patented housing.
  • BADUJET Imperial: two jets with a stainless cover, hand rails, LED lighting and adjustable flow and air controls.
  • BADUJET Inspiration: dual-jet unit suited to existing pools and retrofits.
  • BADUJET Turbo and Turbo Pro: propeller-driven systems moving 1,100 and 1,500 gallons per minute with variable speed and underwater push-button control, for competitive swimmers.

We size the unit to the pool and to how you will use it, and plumb and wire it as part of the equipment pad so it runs on its own controls.

New Pool or Retrofit

The best time to add a swim jet is when the pool is designed, because the fittings, plumbing and electrical are built into the shell and the equipment pad and the current is aimed down the longest swim line. That said, BaduJet makes units specifically for existing pools, and we retrofit them during a pool renovation or as a standalone upgrade. Either way it is one contract, one crew and one equipment pad.

We install BaduJet systems in Latham, River Pools, Imagine Pools and Glimmerglass shells, and retrofit them into most existing inground pools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a swim jet, and is it the same as a swim spa?

A swim jet is a counter-current system built into a regular pool, so you get a full-size family pool that also lets you swim in place. A swim spa is a separate, smaller, self-contained unit. Most of our customers prefer the swim jet because the pool stays a pool.

Yes. BaduJet makes retrofit units, including the Inspiration, that mount to an existing pool wall, and we install them as part of a renovation or on their own. We will confirm the plumbing and electrical path during a site visit.

Yes. BaduJet systems install in fiberglass, vinyl liner and gunite pools with flush-mounted fittings. We build them into new Latham, River, Imagine and Glimmerglass shells and place the unit so the current runs down the pool’s longest line.

It depends on the unit and whether it goes into a new pool or an existing one. We price it as a line item in your pool quote or as a standalone project after a site visit; the estimator on this page will get you started.

Counter-current systems are used in hospitals and physical therapy facilities for exactly that reason: walking or swimming against an adjustable current is low-impact, and the therapy hose provides targeted massage. Talk to your physician about your specific program.
