Any latest Arctic Spas swim Spa product, performance & sales, particularly in California?

We are retired seniors in Silicon Valley in California. We seek daily exercise in simple but highly durable & reliable swim spas by tethered swimming.
Simple swim spa, maximum swim cavity, 1 pump, couple simple jets, seating for 1 or 2. No propulsion, no swim jets, seating for 2,
Basic control for simple maintenance

We like Arctic Spas’ Athabascan swim spa. Around 14 feet, 1 pump, 2 jets.

Major concern is no dealer, no show room, support, maintenance in Northern California. Nearest contact is Spokane, Washington.

Your comments and suggestions are much appreciated.

-- You have answered your own question.  Large ticket items should come with the aforementioned support that you're lacking in this specific instance.  This is not a slight at Arctic Spas - Rather, I'd say that about any brand the fell under this circumstance. 

Instead of looking at brands, find the dealers in your delivery / service radius, see what brands they have, check into their showroom, test them out, make sure the dealer is reputable, then make a decision based on brands from there.  Follow up on this forum for more expert advice and then make your ultimate decision from there.

I hope this helps.  Good luck moving forward.

You certainty want a local dealer. A lot of the major spa makers manufacture swim spas nowadays and I'm sure you have a couple options in an area like yours. You should check the dealer locators on the websites for Artesain, Caldera, D1, Hot Spring, Jacuzzi, Marquis and Sundance so you can call each of  them to see if they have swim spas on their floor and what brand they carry.

Yes, we have wet tested all possible dealers and showrooms in Silicon Valley, Northern California area. We went to several spa shows at local shopping malls and fair grounds, where East coast spa manufacturers bring in their spas.
We have yet find ANY swim spa design near Arctic’s Athabascan. This is the ONLY 14 ft swim spa with the largest simple swim cavity, seating 2, minimal 1 pump 2 jets, no swim jet nor propulsion.

May be some of you out there can tell us any other swim spa manufacturers make similar product just for tethered swimming?
No, we are not interested in any seats for group drinking party nor jets galore nor propulsion like the stupid endless pool.

The r200 or r500 are pretty damn close in openness.  In fact, if you are comparing gallons, the r500 beats the openness of the artic.

Granted... it's 15 feet.

I've personally had a lot of luck with the r200 and r500 for people not wanting the swim jets, even though it has some.  They are wide open, easy to get in.

If you go to a dealer and take a test swim, they will give you $50 to amazon in the month of July.  Got to fill out a form on their website.

Stupid Endless Pools... making their pools endless... which I guess is the point for the most part?
