Who the Columbia Is Designed For

The Columbia is built for families who entertain regularly and want their All-Weather Pool to function as a social centrepiece as much as a fitness tool.

Six seats in an entertainment-focused layout means the Columbia is designed for group use — whether that is a family soak, a gathering of friends, or a combination of swimming and relaxing at the same time.

The Tether & Monsoon System

Like the Ocean, the Columbia uses the Tether & Monsoon combination. The Monsoon generates a wide current across the swim zone; the Tether keeps the swimmer anchored for continuous exercise. Up to 60 jets gives the system a broad adjustment range.

For households where one member wants to swim laps while others soak, the Columbia’s layout accommodates that shared use without the two zones interfering with each other.

Built for Backyard Entertaining

The Columbia’s seating arrangement is laid out to facilitate conversation and group relaxation. Six seats are distributed across the interior so that the pool functions as a genuine social space, not just a series of individual therapy positions.

For New Brunswick families who spend significant time entertaining outdoors from spring through fall — and want that activity to extend through the winter — the Columbia makes that practical.

Columbia vs. Ocean: How to Choose

The Columbia and Ocean are specification twins — same dimensions, same jet range, same swim system. The difference is in the seating configuration and how the interior is laid out. The Columbia prioritizes group socializing; the Ocean prioritizes individual use flexibility.

If your household regularly has four to six people using the pool at the same time, the Columbia’s layout will feel more natural. If your use pattern is more varied and individual, the Ocean may suit better.

New Brunswick Perspective

At Poolboy, the Columbia tends to appeal to New Brunswick families with teenagers or those who host regularly. The six-seat capacity and entertaining-focused layout mean it works well both as a hot tub replacement and as a summer swim pool. It earns its place year-round.

Yes. The Monsoon system and Tether provide a genuine swim current for lap training. The Columbia is a full-featured swim spa, not a leisure pool with token swim jets.
The Columbia is one of the better fits for families with children or teenagers. The six-seat capacity and wide interior give kids room to move, and the swim zone provides active use that complements the soaking seats.
