What is the Fastlane®?

The Fastlane is a swim current generator for your swimming pool, similar to a treadmill that allows you to swim for miles without moving an inch. Easily installed in virtually any pool, the Fastlane creates a smooth current that is wider than your body and deeper than your stroke. Ideal for swimming, aquatic exercise, and rehabilitation, the Fastlane makes exercise easy and fitness fun.

The unique Fastlane system produces a non-turbulent current that can be set to a speed to suit any swimming or exercise ability. Anyone can use the Fastlane in moments regardless of age or fitness level. The Fastlane’s highest speed challenges the best competitive swimmer, yet the current can easily be adjusted to suit the beginner and everyone in between.

How does Fastlane® work?

The Deck Mount Fastlane attaches to the deck much as a pool ladder does and can be retrofitted to an existing pool. The system has two parts: a remotely located hydraulic Power Unit that powers the swim current and Fastlane Swim Unit that mounts poolside. These components are connected by two hydraulic hoses designed to keep electricity far away from the water.

The poolside Fastlane Swim Unit includes a waterproof hydraulic motor that turns our custom-designed 16" propeller and an innovative channelling system that straightens and smoothes the swim current. The motor is powered by hydraulic fluid that is carried through two hoses spanning from the Power Unit to the Swim Unit. At the bottom of the Fastlane, water enters from all directions, including the back, through the honeycomb inlet grills. Unlike a hot tub or pool with a narrow 2" diameter intake, the Fastlane’s intake is 6.3 square feet in area (nearly five square feet), eliminating all concerns about entrapment.

The rugged 5 horsepower Power Unit can be located with your other pool equipment, keeping any electricity away from the pool. The Fastlane comes with 5 gallons of non-food grade, biodegradable vegetable oil to supply the hydraulic Power Unit system.
