For hotels and resorts across the GCC, swimming pools are an important part of the guest experience. But not every property has the space for a dedicated lap pool. Fastlane Installations offer a practical way to add continuous swimming and fitness capabilities to existing or compact pools without requiring the footprint of a traditional long pool. Alma International brings the Fastlane® Swim System to hospitality and wellness projects across the UAE and Middle East, combining innovative aquatic technology with local project expertise.
Why Hotels Are Choosing Fastlane Installations
A hotel swimming pool is usually intended for relaxation and beauty, but travelers want fitness and wellness options while staying at the hotel. The Fastlane® Swim System is an excellent solution to provide guests with swimming while maximizing the use of the available space in the pool.
Using this system, a smooth water flow is created, allowing swimmers to swim continuously without having to turn at the wall of the pool. Thus, a small swimming pool can be used for certain sports that usually require larger pools with longer swimming lanes.
For hotels and resorts, potential benefits include:
- Continuous swimming in compact pool areas
- Fitness and endurance training for guests
- Low-impact aquatic exercise
- Rehabilitation and wellness activities
- A more versatile pool experience
- Better use of existing swimming facilities
- An additional premium feature for wellness-focused properties
Fastlane® Swim System for Small and Existing Pools
One of the key advantages of the Fastlane® Swim System is its flexibility. The system can be incorporated into new pool construction or added to many existing pools, depending on the installation configuration. Both options—deck mounting and wall mounting—offer various approaches in hospitality development. This flexibility can be particularly invaluable in markets such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha and other GCC locations, where guest expectations and space requirements may vary. Instead of completely changing an existing property to make space for a huge lap pool, hoteliers can find an aquatic fitness option that is more compact and can fit seamlessly into their existing plans.
Creating a More Complete Hotel Wellness Experience
Wellness has become an important part of the hospitality offering. A pool equipped with Fastlane® technology can support more than traditional leisure swimming.
Guests can use the adjustable current for:
- Lap swimming and endurance training
- Aquatic fitness
- Cross-training
- Gentle rehabilitation exercises
- Relaxation and recreational swimming
- Personal fitness sessions
The Fastlane Swim uses Hydrodrive™ technology and adjustable speed settings, allowing the current to accommodate different swimming abilities and workout goals.
For a resort or hotel, this versatility means one pool can serve several guest needs rather than being limited to conventional swimming.
