Key Takeaways
Most backyard pools sit still. You paid for the dig, the liner, the chemicals, the heater, and only 15% of adults swim in their pool six or more times a year. That’s a lot of money for a glorified lawn ornament.
So how do you get people to swim more often? Simple. Give them a reason to.

The iGarden Swim Jet X Series is a portable, battery-powered swim jet that clamps onto any existing pool in, generates an AI-adjusted current strong enough to swim against, and sets up in about 20 seconds. No plumbing. No poolside power outlet required. No structural changes. Just place and swim in a current, that’s on-demand, and in the pool you already own.

Traditional swim jet systems from brands like Endless Pools and BaduJet run $5,000 to $20,000, require plumbing, and mean cutting into the pool wall. The X Series starts well below any traditional swim jet system, and works in pools as small as 8 x 8 feet. It also comes in three models, scaled from casual rehab use up to competitive training. When you’re done, the built-in wheels let you roll it out and store it.
The Workout Problem No One Talks About
Swimming is one of the best low-impact cardio options available. Easy on joints, hard to skip, and for most pool owners, still out of reach at home. Either the pool is too small to lap properly, or a built-in system requires tearing up the deck to install.
The X Series sidesteps both. Swim in place against a smooth, adjustable current, and the size of your pool stops mattering.

One Pool, Two Jobs
Kill the current after your morning workout, and the same pool is ready for the kids by noon. No reconfiguration. No tools. There are 10.4 million residential pools in the U.S., and most of them have to serve more than one person with more than one idea of fun. The X Series handles both without asking anyone to compromise.
iGarden has already launched the crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter on March 12 and reached $1 million in sales within 12 hours.
Update: iGarden has now raised over $3,000,000 as of April 23rd.
