For pools in France, the Contraflow system is easily fitted to Hydro-Kit International swimming pools during installation.
The contraflow enables the swimmer to swim against a current of water yet without travelling within the pool.
This is ideal for the smaller swimming pool, or to one side of a larger pool, enabling an effective exercise workout.
There are variable strengths of contraflow available, 50- 60cubic metres per hour is suitable for the average size adult.
Contraflow is also known as contre nage or nage a contre courant in France.

The current produced by a contraflow jet is narrow enough to enable other swimmers to enjoy the pool at the same time, yet strong enough to provide the workout required for the user.
