The Swim Clinic The Fastlane The average home pool is a great place to cool off, splash around and socialise, but not for swimming and exercise - six or eight strokes brings you to the end where you have to turn and start over. The Fastlane is a swim current generator for your swimming pool, similar to a treadmill, that allows you to swim for miles without moving an inch. Easily installed in virtually any pool, the Fastlane creates a smooth current that is wider than your body and deeper than your stroke. Ideal for swimming, aquatic exercise, and rehabilitation, the Fastlane makes exercise easy and fitness fun. Click here for more

Durable, easy to care for and very comfortable underfoot - but it was like a huge bulletin board on the floor! I've recently discovered, however, that Cork has become one of the most beautiful and sensuous flooring materials on the market. Cork floors have been used in commercial and public areas for decades. They reduce noise, insulate against both heat and cold, and are nonallergenic. Click here for more
