Since 2007, SmartPools® has redefined the role of a swimming pool contractor and innovator – prioritizing innovation to revolutionize what a modern pool can offer. SmartPools® delivers not just a swimming experience, but a holistic solution that combines fitness, hydrotherapy, and wellness. At the heart of this vision is the patented LAPS® (Liquid Aquatic Propulsion System) – which has transformed how pools can support health and fitness goals.
How The LAPS® System Works
The LAPS® system utilizes a volume-driven approach to move water like a river, pushing over 30,000 liters per minute, creating a continuous current. This allows swimmers to swim in one place, effectively simulating open water swimming without moving across the pool.
One of the core advantages of the LAPS® system is how users can engage in both cardiovascular and resistance training simultaneously while swimming against its current. The LAPS system also plays a pivotal role in hydrotherapy, making it a favored choice among rehabilitation facilities. The volumetric current enhances blood circulation, reducing inflammation and aiding in muscle recovery. Whether used for post-injury recovery or preventive wellness, the LAPS® System provides a natural form of therapy that promotes long-term health, from better circulation to reduced stress.
SmartPools® Leads The Future In Pool Design
SmartPools® has emerged as an industry leading swimming pool contractor in Asia among homeowners, luxury hotels, and top property developers. This popularity is also bolstered by its Advanced Marine Grade Composite (AMGC) structure, which combines the flexibility of fiberglass with the durability of stainless steel. This robust material is still almost 20 times lighter than traditional concrete pools while still supporting large volumes of water, minimizing resource use and eliminating costly renovations – offering a sustainable, eco-friendly pool solution.
After nearly two decades as a cutting-edge swimming pool contractor and builder, SmartPools® continues to push the boundaries of innovation and product excellence. As the company looks to the future, “it remains committed to reimagining what a swimming pool is capable of” says Faizan Khan.
