About SwimEx
Founded by fiberglass pioneer Everett Pearson in 1986, SwimEx is dedicated to building the finest swim spa fitness pools and rehabilitation equipment on the market. Originally recognized for co-founding Pearson Yachts in 1957 and introducing the first fiberglass production sailboat, Pearson bought the SwimEx paddlewheel patents from two MIT engineers who designed and built one of the first swim-in-place pools. Their idea began as a paddlewheel that draws water off the surface and propels it back into the pool to generate a steady, deep, counter-current allowing for the smoothest, widest and deepest adjustable swimming and rehabilitation environment on the market.
Today, SwimEx pools are the leader in fitness and therapy pools. They are sold worldwide and can be found in major athletic training rooms for professional and college sports teams, hospitals, physical therapy clinics, health clubs and individual residences. SwimEx currently offers ten commercial lines of aquatic therapy pools and six residential models. In 2012, SwimEx introduced a line of hot and cold plunge tanks designed to create the ultimate recovery and revitalization environment for athletes.
