Frequently asked questions
How much does a swim spa cost in Australia?
Swim spas typically cost $18,000–$40,000 for the unit in 2026, plus installation and any decking or surrounds.
What is the price of a swim spa once it is installed?
Add delivery and installation to the unit price. An above-ground install with a basic slab often adds $2,000–$6,000, while an in-ground install with decking, electrical and surrounds can add $10,000–$20,000. So a realistic installed price runs from about $22,000 for an entry-level above-ground setup to $55,000-plus for a premium in-ground swim spa with full decking.
Is a swim spa cheaper than a pool?
Usually yes for the build, and they suit smaller yards. Running costs can be higher if heated and used year-round.
Can a swim spa be installed in-ground?
Yes, in-ground installation looks more integrated but costs more than placing the unit above ground.
