SwimEx, a Massachusetts-based manufacturer of fiberglass therapy and training pools, has introduced the DepthSelect Series — an adjustable-depth therapy pool innovation designed to address treatment bottlenecks in commercial rehabilitation and athletic training facilities.
The DepthSelect Series' core selling point is that it allows clinicians to modify water levels specifically within the underwater treadmill zone while the rest of the pool remains fully operational for other users. This, in turn, eliminates the need to adjust the entire pool environment. The system is available on SwimEx 1000 T and 1500 T models as well as custom configurations.
The design philosophy emphasizes operational reliability and maximum facility utilization, as demonstrated by its use in high-performance settings like the Cleveland Guardians' hydrotherapy room, where SwimEx pools support the preparation and recovery of a significant portion of the roster throughout the demanding baseball season.
