What is a swimming machine?
The Fastlane Swim™ is a hydraulically powered swimming machine that brings the signature Hydrodrive™ current to almost any existing pool. Using a 16-inch propeller and multiple conditioning vanes, it delivers a smooth, laminar flow of water that is wider than your body and deeper than your stroke, free of the turbulence caused by air-injected competitor swim jets.
With 52 incremental speed settings and a top pace of 1:14 per 100 metres, the Fastlane Swim™ suits everyone from beginners finding their stroke to competitive swimmers and triathletes training at full pace. Even at maximum power, the experience mirrors the smooth, steady resistance of open-water swimming, right in the pool you already own.

Swimming machine design
Every element of the Fastlane Swim™ has been crafted to deliver the ultimate swim-in-place experience. There is the signature Hydrodrive™ hydraulic propulsion system, the precision-engineered conditioning vanes that smooth and direct the laminar flow, and the remotely located power unit that keeps mains electricity well away from the water.
The Fastlane Swim™ delivers a highly customised swimming experience for every member of your household, from the gentlest resistance to support joint recovery and rehabilitation, to a current that challenges competitive swimmers at full pace. Simply adjust the speed across 52 incremental settings using the wireless remote and get swimming.
Best swimming machine placement
Where should you place your swimming machine? Unlike a traditional swimming pool the Fastlane Swim™ is designed to retrofit into almost any existing pool, with two mounting options to suit your pool's layout.
The deck-mount option fastens directly to the pool deck using a hanger bracket, with hydraulic hoses running above ground or concealed under a hose cover tray. The wall-mount option fastens to the pool wall with a bracket, routing hoses cleanly beneath the pool deck back to the remote power unit. Speak to your local Hot Spring® dealer for a site-specific installation plan.
What should I look for when buying a swimming machine?
Choosing the right swimming machine starts with understanding your pool, your training goals, and your long-term ownership needs. Buying from an established brand with a local dealer network ensures you have expert support from site check through to installation and beyond. Other considerations include:
Compatibility
Does your existing pool have the right depth, clearance, and wall structure for a retrofit installation? Your local dealer can confirm Fastlane Swim™ compatibility at no obligation.
Location
Where in your pool will the unit be mounted — deck or wall? Do you need hoses concealed beneath the deck or routed above ground?
Objective
What is your primary goal — elite lap training, low-impact rehabilitation, or shared family fitness? The Fastlane Swim™ adapts to every level and every goal in your household.
Quality
Are you investing in a system that will perform daily for years to come? The Fastlane Swim™ is built with commercial-grade hydraulic components backed by 45 years of Hot Spring® aquatic engineering.
The most common reason people stop using their pool is the mental load — running costs, water care, the weather. Our Free Swim Spa Buyer's Guide shows you how to choose a system built for year-round use, backed by a 45+ year local dealer network you can trust.
The benefits of swimming
Capable of delivering elite resistance training, low-impact rehabilitation, and cardiovascular fitness in the pool you already own, the Fastlane Swim™ is a proven tool for long-term health. The benefits of regular aquatic exercise include:
Your heart
Swimming against airless current elevates your heart rate and builds cardiovascular endurance, delivering a full aerobic workout without the joint impact of land-based training.
Your muscles
The consistent, adjustable resistance of the Hydrodrive™ current strengthens and tones your entire body, from shoulders through to your legs, across every session.
Your joints
Water buoyancy reduces the load on joints, bones, and muscles during a swim. Set it to a gentle paceor increase resistance progressively as strength and mobility improve.
Your mental well-being
Regular aquatic exercise reduces stress hormones and promotes mental clarity as well as supporting focus, sleep, and long-term wellbeing.
