EVA System 2 - Get Active
The sporty De Jong family from Meppel were looking for a small, compact swimming pool where they could cool off in the summer and train at a competitive level all year round. To this end, they approached swimming pool builder Aqua Unique, who completed the new pool – complete with an integrated EVAstream 350 swimming machine – in early 2021.

A conversation with Rosalie Verloop of Aqua Unique
Why did the customer want a counter-current swimming machine?
The client is one of the top players in amateur water polo and is used to swimming a lot. The children are also keen water polo players. The family uses the swimming pool every day, even in winter. For sporty clients, such as this family, we recommend the EVAstream.
Why choose the EVAstream over an alternative?
For the De Jong family, the EVAstream proved to be the best choice. During a trial swim in our demonstration pool, which has a different swimming machine installed, it soon became clear that this was too gentle for the family. If someone is a reasonably good swimmer or is strong, they will quickly swim right through the jet stream in our demonstration pool. The powerful EVAstream is therefore a suitable alternative.
What do the EVAsubaqua lamps add to the EVAstream?
As the de Jong family have opted for ‘ECA System 2: Get Active’, they can choose from four pre-programmed training sessions. These have been put together by professionals. The EVAsubaqua lights work in conjunction with the EVAstream to show you where you are in the workout, as you can’t count laps in a small pool. Mr de Jong is very enthusiastic about the training and is constantly trying to make the workouts a little more challenging.
Do they use their bath more because of the underwater lighting?
On warm summer evenings, the colourful EVAsubaqua create a special atmosphere in their garden. And now they can also use their swimming pool in the evening. Without underwater lighting, that wouldn’t have been possible.
Does the whole family use the EVAstream?
The children are almost as keen on water polo as their father used to be. That’s why the EVAstream is just the thing for their strength training and stamina. But they also just use it for fun, you know. When friends come round in the summer, the counter-current makes for loads of water fun.
Was the EVAstream a good investment for your client?
The de Jong family have now been using the EVAstream for over half a year and are very pleased with it. Every day, he spends about three quarters of an hour in the water, enjoying his swimming training. He feels that the EVAstream has been a really good investment. He can adjust the counter-current himself, which allows him to keep swimming at a steady pace and continue to challenge himself.
