SwimJet Retrofit by Remco

Professional-grade swim training · Adjustable for everyday use

Choose your system around the way you swim.

In the Desert Grove range, Remco is our training-focused choice for structured fitness, endurance and performance. Vikstar is positioned primarily for leisure swimming and recreational exercise. The right choice depends on your goals—not just a headline flow figure.

Remco SwimJet & Retrofit

From a gentle current to serious training.

The range spans low/moderate-intensity swimming through to high-intensity training. The 160 model also suits remedial exercise and family play; the Twin 550 is the performance-focused option.

Whichever model you choose, the current is adjustable across multiple levels, so it can be tuned to your comfort today—and increased as your fitness improves.

Vikstar Swim Jet

Mainly leisure and recreational exercise?

Explore Vikstar for a leisure-oriented pool upgrade. For a more structured training programme, progress tracking and higher-intensity swimming goals, start with the Remco range and choose the appropriate model.

This is how Desert Grove positions the two ranges. It is not a claim that every Remco model is intended for professional competition or that Vikstar cannot be used for exercise.

Model selector & flow-rate guide

Which Remco SwimJet suits you?

Choose your pool stage, users and swimming goals. Add a known pace to match the reference table and see the model’s rated flow, power, indicative price and installation route.

Minutes:seconds in a 50 m pool. For family use, enter the strongest intended swimmer’s pace.
Optional pool-size check
Starting minimum: 5 m length × 2.5 m width. Skimmer and overflow pools can be considered. Side-by-side swimming needs a separately reviewed layout.

Pace is shown as minutes:seconds per 100 m in a 50 m pool; for example, 01:15 means 1 minute 15 seconds. Flow, power and maximum velocity are reference ratings—not your personal operating setting. Maximum jet velocity is not the same as swimming pace.

With a known pace, the selector picks the smallest model whose published reference pace is at least as fast as your entered pace. A pace faster than 01:15 requires specialist review; there is no extrapolation beyond the table.

Without a pace, Desert Grove’s starting-point logic is: leisure/therapy → 160; fitness → 160 for beginner, 275 for intermediate, 320 for advanced; endurance → 275 for beginner/intermediate or 320 for advanced; performance → 550. These are qualitative suggestions, not manufacturer-certified prescriptions. A two-person separated layout is referred for bespoke review with a Twin 550 performance reference.

Data note: this table follows the supplied comparison image, including 4,585 L/min for the 275. The downloadable Ultimate Guide lists 4,583 L/min for that model. We have not recalculated or averaged the supplied figures. The comparison benchmarks are used for preliminary selection on both pages; the final installed configuration must be checked.

Easy installation

With no pumps or plumbing the SwimJet Retrofit counter current system can be installed easily into existing pools. Many homeowners upgrading their pools also install automatic pool covers to improve safety and reduce evaporation when the pool is not in use. So if you’re interested in turning your pool into a training hub simply enquire with our team about the SwimJet today. Our delivery and installation service is available all over the UAE and the GCC and we are always more than happy to answer any questions our customers might have. We will find a solution that perfectly suits your needs.

Planning, performance & installation

Remco SwimJet questions, answered.

The same training range, with the installation route chosen to suit your pool. Confirm the final model, mounting and layout before ordering.

Which Remco range suits a new or an existing pool?

For a pool in design or early construction, an integrated SwimJet is the starting choice, provided the required cavities and provisions can still be coordinated with the builder. For an already constructed pool, start with the Retrofit range. The final installation route depends on the actual pool and site details.

How does Remco differ from Vikstar in the Desert Grove range?

We position Remco as the training-focused, professional-grade range for structured fitness, endurance and performance swimming, while Vikstar is primarily our leisure and recreational-exercise option. Model choice still matters: the Remco 160 suits gentler swimming, remedial exercise and family use, while the 550 is the high-intensity option. A larger model can be turned down; it does not have to be used at maximum output.

Can I adjust the current as my fitness improves?

Yes. Whichever Remco model you choose, the current is adjustable across multiple levels. It can be tuned to your comfort today and increased as your ability and fitness develop. The guide describes seven control levels; the SwimJet App flyer lists 100 speed variations for supported app operation.

How does the model selector use my swimming pace?

It uses the supplied estimated equivalent pace per 100 m in a 50 m pool: 160 at 02:30, 275 at 01:58, 320 at 01:45, and 550 at 01:15. It selects the smallest listed model whose reference pace is at least as fast as the pace entered. These are indicative benchmarks, not guaranteed swim performance or an exact calculation of your personal water-flow requirement. Without a known pace, it provides a labelled starting-point suggestion from your level and goal.

Can two people swim side by side with a twin system?

Yes, with a specifically designed layout: the pool must accommodate two separate cavities and the jets must be far enough apart for comfortable stroke movement. Desert Grove would design and review this arrangement. It must not be assumed that the standard twin housing, especially a standard Retrofit unit in an existing pool, automatically provides two separate swimming lanes.

Do the two jets in a twin system run at different speeds?

No. Both jets in a twin system operate at the same speed because they share a single control box. This can work well for swimmers of similar ability, but may not suit two swimmers whose strength or pace differs noticeably.

Can two single units use separate control boxes for different speeds?

Technically, separate single SwimJets and control boxes can be installed, but we do not recommend operating side-by-side streams at different speeds. Running adjacent streams at different speeds can create a whirlpool effect, turbulence and disruption of the swim stream, producing an unsatisfactory swimming experience. We recommend a coordinated same-speed layout or taking turns instead.

Would a twin system work in a 10 m × 4 m pool?

A 10 m × 4 m pool can work well with a twin system when the jets are adequately separated and the layout is designed for comfortable strokes. When splitting the system into separated swimming positions, the recommendation is to assess the 550 m³/h option to maintain performance. This remains a custom layout subject to drawings, stroke clearance and site review, not an automatic approval for every pool of that size.

Where should the SwimJets be positioned?

Our positioning recommendation is the deeper end of the pool, ideally around 2 m water depth, with the swimmer approximately 1.5–2 m away from the SwimJet. The 2 m figure describes a preferred pool depth at that end; it is not a turbine mounting depth or a universal minimum. Final cavity details, outlet level and clearances must follow the selected model’s approved construction drawings.

Can Remco SwimJets be installed in skimmer and overflow pools?

Yes, both skimmer and overflow pools can be considered. Our stated starting minimum is a pool 5 m long and 2.5 m wide. Actual dimensions, water depth, coping or overflow details, mounting conditions and electrical provision must still be checked. These minimum dimensions do not establish enough width for two swimmers side by side.

What can the SwimJet App do?

The app supports setting the duration and a consistent speed before swimming, changing settings during a swim, preset training programs, customised programs, 100 speed variations, progress history, favourite programs and sharing programs by QR code. The linked video also guides on/off operation and the parameters for the remote control and piezo switch.

What connectivity is needed for the app?

Remco specifies an Ethernet port in the pool equipment room or a Wi-Fi extender for app operation. The network provision and compatibility of the selected controls should be checked during the installation planning.

What is the delivery lead time?

The approximate delivery lead time for both integrated Remco SwimJet and Remco Retrofit SwimJet systems is 6–7 weeks. The delivery schedule, final scope and installation arrangements are confirmed in the project quotation and order.

What do the indicative prices include?

The published 2026 UAE price guide includes installation, international and local delivery, import customs and VAT. Prices are indicative and remain subject to the selected equipment, pool conditions and agreed project scope. A custom separated two-swimmer layout should not be priced automatically as a standard package.

What information do you need to recommend a model?

Tell us who will use it, whether they will swim together or take turns, their swimming level, and the main goal: leisure, fitness, endurance, performance or therapy. A known 100 m pace in a 50 m pool is helpful. Also share the pool stage, length, width, depth and skimmer or overflow type, together with drawings or photographs. We can then recommend the model and prepare a quotation and installation plan.
