DIMENSION ONE SPAS DEBUTS AQUASPORT SWIM SPA

Not only does swimming slow down the aging process – by upwards of 20% in
some cases -- in terms of respiration, muscle mass, bone density, cardiovascular
activity and neurological function, but there’s also evidence to suggest that it
increases mental health and even spiritual and social health.”

DIMENSION ONE SPAS DEBUTS AQUASPORT SWIM SPA
Sporty, Fun, Versatile and Full of ‘Firsts’ in its Class - Answer to Today’s Fitness Trends

Vista, CA – (January 25, 2012) Dimension One Spas, the leading innovator in the home spa industry, just announced a fourth model in its Aquatic Fitness Systems line of underwater gym/swim spas – the smaller, more versatile AquaSport, offering a compact AFS option with the best features in its class. This dynamic, fun, fitness-oriented swim spa was created with exercise science input from Mary Sanders, PhD., the world’s leading expert on water exercise.

While the other three AFS models range in price from $25,000 to $45,000 and measure 16 to 19 feet long, the new AquaSport is 13 feet long and retails for approximately $18,000. Unique features of the AquaSport:
• The largest swim lane in its class.
• A DuraTex shell that won’t crack or blister, even in direct sunlight – the only one of its kind in the industry.
• A built-in exercise step for lunge exercises and built-in exercise bars for stretching exercises.
• A standard HydroSport Kit for resistance moves. Optional: Stretch and Train Kit for weight bearing exercises and a Water Pilates Kit for core work, yoga and other low impact exercises.
• A boxed steel frame guaranteed for the life of the product.
• The only AFS available with the Ultra Pure Water Management System – D1’s award-winning UV light and ozone water purifying system, giving consumers the cleanest, clearest water ever offered in a swim spa.

The new AquaSport also addresses a number of today’s consumer trends including:
- Aging boomers looking for low-impact, joint-friendly exercise options.
- At-home exercise as rehab from injuries and illness.
- Consumers downsizing from high-maintenance, in-ground pools but still wanting an at-home swimming/exercise option. And, homeowners can take swim spas with them if they move.
- Energy and cost efficiency: while the water temperature can easily be adjusted, swim spas have one-half to one-third the energy costs of a regular pool. The AquaSport is the only AFS with patented UV light and ozone water cleaning system.

The website of the Hot Tub Council (HTC) of the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) - www.hottubliving.com - highlights findings from the latest scientific research that shows aquatic exercise benefits those suffering from fibromyalgia, diabetes, arthritis, depression, weight management, back pain and more.

“The new AquaSport is really health in motion, explains D1 Senior Designer, Victor Walker. “It allows people of all ages to experience the benefits of aquatic exercise. “

About Mary Sanders, Phd FSM
Professor at the University of Nevada’s School of Medicine and Public Health is known in fitness circles as the “water fitness guru.” The research her team has done with groups of aquatic exercisers over the years underscores the fact that water can be used as a liquid weight machine with unique benefits. “Water’s buoyancy reduces impact and supports the body for increased range of motion,” she explains. “And, the natural resistance of water (the harder you press the harder, the water presses back) provides an individualized personal training environment. Water’s viscosity or “thickness” -- being about 800 times greater than air – makes it an effective exercise environment in which to build muscular endurance. And using resistance tethers, like those featured in the AFS pool, provides additional core stabilization work.” www.waterfit.com
