HydroSport Swim System Important Safety Instructions READ, UNDERSTAND System prior to beginning any exercise regimen in your Aquatic Fitness System. Never exercise alone. Always have someone close by in case of fatigue, accident or injury. When you are exercising, or simply relaxing, in “water” the risks of injury while being alone are increased.
Be sure to examine your Tensor Cords for damage or deterioration prior to each use. Do not use damaged or deteriorated Tensor Cords. As with swimming everywhere, swimming in your Aquatic Fitness System requires you to practice standard swimming safety precautions. Because your Aquatic Fitness System provides the features of a lap pool, track, circuit training station, rowing machine, and home hydrotherapy spa, it is necessary that you be aware of a diverse range of safety and health precautions.

For your convenience, a Swim Tether mount is located at each end of the Aquatic Fitness System’s swimming area. Simply place the Swim Tether Pole securely in the mount, strap on the adjustable Swim Tether Belt, adjust the Swim Cord length, and ease into the water. Ease into the water –...
Page 10
As you swim, the Swim Tether Pole applies resistance and holds you back. The harder you swim, the more resistance is applied. If you decide to change swimming strokes, such as the backstroke or sidestroke, be sure to reposition the Swim Tether Belt before you start using the new swim stroke. Because the Swim Tether Pole is flexible and applies resistance to your swimming exercises, it also helps support you.
HydroSport Using the Swim Kick Bar The HydroSport Swim Kick Bar is installed as a standard feature for your swimming and exercise pleasure on the AquaFit Dual Temp and AquaPro series of Aquatic Fitness Systems. It is located at the end opposite the steps.
Page 12
You can use the Swim Kick Bar in much the same fashion as you would use the edge of your swimming pool or a paddleboard. Turning on the Swim Jets will alter the exercise dynamics. Never exercise alone. Always have someone close by in case of fatigue, accident or injury.
Page 13
HydroSport The Swim Kick Bar is also useful for maintaining balance when doing low-impact, or other, exercises. Never exercise alone. Always have someone close by in case of fatigue, accident or injury. When you are exercising, or simply relaxing, in “water” the risks of injury while being alone are increased.
HydroSport Using the Swim Jets A totally different swimming dynamic is achieved by using the high volume Swim Jets located at the end opposite the steps. To achieve a sustained swimming exercise routine that will improve your fitness and endurance, you can adjust the Swim Jets to achieve a pace that is right for you.
Page 15
To use the Swim Jets properly, you should pick out a location along the side, or bottom, to use as a “focus point.” Next, visualize a “box” resting on the top of the water with the front end of the “box” located about 6”...
HydroSport Activating the Jets The Aquatic Fitness Systems have three separate pumps to provide high volume water flow. Pump 1 is a dual-speed pump that provides high volume water flow to either the Swim Jets or the HydroTherapy Jets, depending on the position of the Diverter Valve. Pumps 2 and 3 are single speed pumps that provide high volume water flow directly to the Swim Jets.
Using the Diverter Valve The Diverter Valve controls water movement for Pump 1. It is located near the steps, at the rear of the Aquatic Fitness Systems. When Pump 1 is ON, the water flow can be adjusted toward either the HydroTherapy Jets or to the Swim Jets, depending on the position of the Diverter Valve.
HydroSport Adjusting Air Flow In addition to controlling the amount of high volume water that is directed to the Swim Jets, you can also control how much air is added to the water. There are two Air Selector Switches located at the front of each Aquatic Fitness Systems.
Page 19
In addition, you may also change the angle of the water flow to alter the dynamics slightly. The volume of the water flow is controlled by how many pumps you have working and how much air has been added to the water flow.
HydroSport Rowing System Important Safety Instructions READ, UNDERSTAND System prior to beginning any exercise regimen in your Aquatic Fitness System. Never exercise alone. Always have someone close by in case of fatigue, accident or injury. When you are exercising, or simply relaxing, in “water” the risks of injury while being alone are increased.
HydroSport Rowing HydroSport System Features The HydroSport Exercise Gear is a high quality fitness training and exercise system for water-based use. It is designed specifically for use with the following Aquatic Fitness Systems.
The HydroSport Rowing System provides exercise gear that connects to OptiMount locations in Aquatic Fitness Systems to allow you to work on your upper body and arms with simple rowing exercises. In addition to rowing exercises, the HydroSport Rowing System contains exercise gear that can be connected to different locations so you can complete a wide variety of different exercises.
HydroSport Installing the Rowing System Easy as 1-2-3 The HydroSport Rowing System can be installed in three simple steps.

Simply screw each rower into an OptiMount on the wall on each side of the rowing seat as previously shown. Be sure to remove the plastic insert from the center of the OptiMount. Use the OptiMounts identified by a A good guide for measuring the correct installation of the rowers is to ensure that you first screw the rower into the OptiMount until it is almost snug, then back off ½...
Page 28
Choose a Tensor Cord for your rowing exercise and snap a clip from one end to the Butterfly Top. Red Tensor Cords are recommended as a starting point. You can change sizes once you determine your resistance needs. You must make sure the Tensor Cord snap-hooks are properly connected and the rower ring and the Butterfly Top ring are completely “inside”...
Page 29
Finally, take another shorter Tensor Cord, such as a Blue one, and attach it between the rowers by snapping one end of the Tensor Cord to a ring on each rower. Adding the Tensor Cord between the rowers is necessary to maintain control of the rowers.
Page 30
Extra Tensor Cords, in various lengths, can also be added to provide a wide range of “work/rest” or “work/work” resistance depending on your exercise requirements. There are a variety of OptiMount locations where you can install additional ButterFly Tops for Tensor Cord use during rowing exercises. Do NOT change your approved exercise routine without first consulting with your physician.
Rowing for the First Time Safety Cautions Before you start rowing, as with any other activity involving strenuous exercise, you should consult with your doctor to make sure this activity is safe for you. Never exercise alone. Always have someone close by in case of fatigue, accident or injury.
Using the Rower Once the HydroSport Rowing System has been properly installed, you are ready to start using your new rowing system. Sit comfortably in the rowing seat, or step, and grab the rower handles to begin your rowing exercises. If the Tensor Cord between the rowers is too close to your hands, you can reconnect it to the “D-Rings”...
Connecting the HydroSport Body Belt The adjustable HydroSport Body Belt is another exercise tool available for your convenience in creating a “tailored” exercise program. Simply snap a HydroSport Tensor Cord into one of the two D-Rings on the belt and connect the other end of the Tensor Cord to a Butterfly Top that has been installed into an OptiMount.
Connecting the HydroSport Ankle/Wrist Cuffs The adjustable HydroSport Ankle/Wrist Cuffs are another exercise tool available for your convenience in creating a “tailored” exercise program. Simply wrap the cuff around your wrist or ankle and adjust the cuff to fit you comfortably. Ensure you can rapidly release the cuff in the event you become fatigued, injured, or if...

HydroSport Always wear shatterproof safety glasses whenever using HydroSport equipment or other stretch-band type of equipment. Failure to use proper eyewear may result in serious injury or loss of sight. Do not allow your Tensor Cords to remain in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Connecting the HydroSport “D” Handles The HydroSport “D” Handles are another exercise tool available for your convenience in creating a “tailored” exercise program. Simply snap a HydroSport Tensor Cord into the D-Ring on a “D” Handle. Then connect the other end of the Tensor Cord to a Butterfly Top that has been installed into an OptiMount.
Connecting the HydroSport Bar Straps The HydroSport Bar Straps are another important exercise tool available for your convenience in creating a “tailored” exercise program. If you want to connect the Body Belt or the “D” Handles when all of the OptiMounts are in use, the Bar Straps can be used to connect them to an exercise bar.
Multiple User Operation The AquaFit and AquaPro Aquatic Fitness Systems are designed for multiple user aquatic exercise programs. You can exercise with a buddy – for example, one of you can row while the other one swims, uses the spa, or one of the other pieces of optional HydroSport Aquatic Fitness Gear. In the AquaPro...
