Michael Phelps Now: Winning the Day with the 23-Time Gold Medalist
The water is a familiar, comfortable place for Michael Phelps. It was in the water where he spent hours training, working toward his goals, and spending time with friends. It’s also where he earned his 23 gold medals.
And while some things have changed since he retired from the sport, the water is still a place where Phelps can enjoy swimming.
“I like getting in the water because it’s peaceful for me to swim,” Phelps says. “I enjoy just being in the water, being by myself. It gives me time to clear my head.”
Exercising and moving your body is just as much about mental health as it is physical health. A swim spa by Master Spas makes it easier to prioritize your well-being. Designed to be used year-round, a swim spa offers 24-7 access to the water — whether you want to swim, aqua jog, or relax.
“It’s always nice to be able to take a deep breath and just relax,” Phelps says.
In 2010, Master Spas started working with Michael Phelps and his coach. With input from Phelps, Master Spas was able to build upon its swim spa line and create a swimming pool alternative that would benefit Phelps and his training.

The swim spa allowed his coach to analyze Phelps’ stroke via an underwater camera and offer real-time feedback so that he could refine his technique. The result? “I believe training in the swim spa helped me develop the best freestyle stroke I’ve had in my career,” Phelps says.
Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spas feature a continuous swim current that can be adjusted from zero to 99 so you can swim at your pace. The water current is smooth and wide, and, with no flip turns, you can find your rhythm and focus on endurance.
There are three models in the Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spa series so that you can find the best spa for your space and lifestyle. The MP Force Deep is a 17-foot swim spa and has the smallest footprint of the models. The MP Signature Deep has the largest swim area, which is free of obstacles and ideal for training.
Then there is the MP Momentum Deep, which has an adjoining hot tub. The dual temperature swim spa allows you to have the best of both worlds: a hot tub with a swim spa.
The swim spa has comfortable seating with massage jets and other hot tub features that can help you relax and reconnect after a busy day.

Nearly all the Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spas feature a therapeutic seat with neck and shoulder jets that give you a great, stress-relief massage. The swim spas also have an Xtreme Therapy Cove, which provides massage coverage for your lower back, hips, thighs and calves.
For families, a swim spa can be used as a pool alternative. Children can splash around, play games, and float on a raft.
But more than that it can be an ideal place for children to learn how to swim.
“A large pool can be intimidating to children — and parents — when little ones are learning to swim. The swim spa offers a perfect environment for children, or anyone, to learn how to swim,” says Phelps, who is a father of three young boys.
The smaller swim area is reassuring and full of fun. Children love the water features, and parents can enjoy the intimate setting where you can focus on water safety.

The partnership between Phelps and Master Spas began with the launch of the industry-leading Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spas line. Master Spas has continued its reputation for leadership with the addition of innovative, industry-first features such as the Wave Propulsion System.
Today, Phelps’ relationship with Master Spas also includes the Michael Phelps Legend Series, an ultra-premium line of hot tubs.
