How It Works ...
The Endless Pool propulsion unit can move a huge amount of water -- up to 5,000
gallons a minute -- through two grills that straighten and smooth the water's
flow. The result is a river-like current that is totally adjustable in speed
from a gentle flow to a racer's pace by simply turning a knob.
The swim current is generated by a 16'' propeller inside a protective
stainless steel housing that is driven by a hydraulic motor.
The swim current is remarkably smooth because of an ingenious return
system using the pool's underwater perimeter benches. As the water flows
down the center of the pool, it enters a grill in the rear bench. The side
benches act as return channels that loop the water from the back to the
front of the pool.
Better and Safer
The Endless Pool swim current is far superior to those produced by jetted spas.
These spas pump only a few hundred gallons of water a minute through high-pressure
nozzles. Their currents are turbulent and very narrow, even when three
or more jets are used. In a jetted spa, only a small amount of water is
moving and the current speed is greatly diminished by the time it reaches
the other side. In fact, the flow is so low that there is no need for a
return channel system in a jetted spa.
This unique, patented system engineered by Endless Pools produces
an ideal, broad, deep, non-turbulent swim current. It is remarkably free
of waves and bubbles, making it ideal for swimming, exercising and physical
therapy.
The Endless Pool is a standout because:
It offers all the benefits of a large pool in a small space.
The pool and its water quality system require very little maintenance.
The unique, patented swim current is completely adjustable in speed, from zero
to racer's pace. It can be finished in a variety of materials and styles.
The kit comes complete with everything you will need to swim or exercise. It
fits in most indoor and outdoor ground-level spaces.
Excellent for many purposes: swimming, water exercise, aquatic therapy and
relaxation. It costs about the same to operate as a hot tub.
All parts of the kit can fit through doorways as narrow as 24 inches, making
it ideal for installations in existing spaces like basements and garages. The
pool is backed by premium customer support and a limited warranty.
The width, length and depth can be customized to your specific needs. The entire
Endless Pools system has been ETL listed after passing rigorous tests for electrical
and other safety standards.
When the pool is covered, very little humidity escapes into your indoor or
outdoor space. Because of our innovative Water Quality System, it is virtually
odor free, even indoors.

GAME-IMPROVING TIPS
HOT TIP OF THE MONTH...
"Leaving Tennis Habits on the Tennis Court" by Gary Horvath
Gary Horvath is a USPTA (United States Prosfessional Tennis Association) Master Professional and the President of the PPTA (Professional Platform Tennis Association). He has taught both sports for many years, as a college coach and professional teaching instructor.
Because tennis and platform tennis are similar many tennis players often try to play platform tennis using tennis strokes and tennis strategy. This can often be quite frustrating to them and their partners.
Outside of the handful of major rules-related differences between tennis and platform tennis there are a number of subtle differences between the two sports. Let's begin by looking at just a few of these differences.
The Serve
The serve and volley are considered a unit in platform tennis. The platform tennis toss should be about a foot lower than a tennis toss, slightly more to the right and more in front to make it easier to follow the serve to the net.
First Volley
The first volley in tennis is often hit for a winner or with an offensive intent, while in platform tennis the first volley is aimed for the middle of the backcourt. In platform tennis, 75-80% of the volleys are hit with backhands, while in tennis 55-65% of the volleys are hit with backhands.
Service Return
There are very few opportunities to be offensive in platform tennis. In platform tennis, the first opportunity to be offensive is on the service return. In tennis this opportunity often exists on the serve. These are major differences when establishing your mindset for returning serve. From a technical standpoint, more "high" forehand returns are hit in platform tennis than tennis and more returns are hit with forehands.
Lobs
Unlike tennis lobs are hit more often in platform tennis than in tennis. In platform tennis you are seldom penalized for a short lob to the same extent you are penalized in tennis. There is also more of a premium placed on the proper height of the lob in platform tennis. At times a lower lob is more effective if it forces the opponents to look directly into the sun. Also a high deep lob can move the person off the net three steps while landing in the middle of the backcourt. Topspin lobs are seldom hit in platform tennis. Finally, in platform tennis, appropriately placed lobs can be used to set the ball up to the partner's forehand.
Overheads
Initially tennis players can be frustrated by the premium placed on efficiency and consistency when hitting platform tennis overheads. From a technical standpoint, platform tennis overheads are often hit with more spin and the ball is often hit lower in its trajectory so that it will bounce off the screens with a lower trajectory.
Tactics
The best summary of platform tennis tactics can be attributed to Dan Magee of Denver, Colorado. After attending his first National Championships he said, "I learned a lot. Most importantly I learned that you can hit any shot you want - spin overhead, forehand drive off the wires, big serve - as long as it goes in."
Social
Finally, platform tennis is more social than tennis. The smaller court size and the proximity of the players results in more interaction between the players. This may also be a reason for fewer disputed line calls in platform tennis than in tennis.
Because of the equalizing nature of doubles and the sport it is easier to mix players at varying levels in platform tennis and have fun on and off the court.
As trivial as these items may seem, they are the distinguishing factors that make platform tennis such a unique sport. Look for a certified PPTA professional in your area to help explore the subtleties of platform tennis.
