iGarden Portable Swim Jet

I bought this for a 22' round above ground pool to swim for exercise and also for my children to enjoy the summer in the pool. I swam competitively in high school so was a little worries that it wouldn't be fast enough or enough water, but I was pleasantly surprised. I can sprint against it on high (though I can out swim it briefly), but for cardio I swim 1000-2000 yards at an endurance pace, and medium low is a good pace. I can get 2-3 workouts at this pace per charge. It arrives in two separate deliveries, so was a little concerned when the pump showed up but there was not way to power it. The battery showed up a couple days later. Also mounting it to the wall of an above ground pool just on the pool side it tends to shift a bit. I used some slit rubber hose to stabilize it at the angle I wanted.

I recently got the iGarden Swim Jet X30, and after using it a few times, I’m genuinely hooked! I’ve never really been a huge fan of swimming, floating around just isn't my thing, but having the Swim Jet X Series has completely changed how I use my pool. I’m actually excited to jump in every single day after work now!

The speed settings range from 1 to 4, and let me tell you, level 4 is SERIOUSLY powerful! I can’t even hold it for very long yet! Pro-tip: If you have an Apple Watch, track your sessions using the 'Pool Swim' workout feature to log your stats.

Also, huge shoutout to their customer support team. They’ve been super responsive, fast, and genuinely focused on making sure everything works smoothly. Can't wait to make the absolute most of this pool season!

Simple as that. Before the X5 we'd do 20 minutes and call it a day. Now we're out there for hours. The current just gives you something to do in the water.

Really enjoying the X5 — current is real, setup is fast, family loves it. That said I tried the Pro at my friend's recently and the power difference is noticeable. X5 is great for what it is but if you swim seriously the Pro probably makes more sense.

Genuinely surprised by the current strength. Not a trickle — a real push. Been using it almost every day for a month and it's become the highlight of the day honestly. Easy to set up, easy to store. Really happy with it.

Good strong current, instant setup, easy to move around. Our family uses it every day — some for fitness, some just for fun. Great product.

First day I kind of just cycled through modes randomly. By day two I had my setup dialed — medium for morning swims, high for when friends come over, low for evening floats. Two weeks in and that routine is locked. Really versatile.

Current is strong and consistent. The whole product feels over-engineered in the best way.

Same pool, same backyard — completely different experience. The current makes everything more dynamic.

I mostly bought it for the family but my favorite use is putting it on low and just floating in the current after a long day. It's calming in a way I didn't expect. High setting is great for play and light fitness. Really versatile product.

I received my unit today, and I was absolutely blown away by its power. At speed level 4, I could barely keep up! I’m in my 50s, and this is going to make my daily training sessions so much more enjoyable and effective.
The customer support was exceptional from start to finish. Communication was prompt, response times were incredibly fast, and the iGarden order support team exceeded my expectations by following through on every commitment they made.
This is the real deal. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

I'm going to build a mount so I can find the perfect spot for it in the pool.

For family fun and casual fitness the X5 is excellent. Current is real and consistent. Really happy.

That's the review. Strong current, fast setup, well built. Everyone in the house uses it. Been going 3.5 weeks without a single issue. Just buy it.

I received the battery first and then the unit 2 days later. I thought I couldn’t connect to controller until I plugged everything together and it worked flawlessly.

Once functional connecting to the app was super easy.

Before this we'd just float around. Now we have games, challenges, resistance swims — the current just creates activity. 2.5 weeks in and it shows no signs of getting boring.

Wasn't sure how much current a portable unit could actually produce. Answer: more than enough for family fun and light fitness.

Set it up on delivery day and honestly haven't turned it off since. Everything is more interesting with a current — swimming, floating, just hanging out in the water. The highest setting is a real challenge even for confident swimmers.

Being able to roll it away when not in use is genuinely great. Pool looks normal, no clutter. Then 45 seconds to set up when we want it. The frictionless routine is a big part of why we actually use it every day.

Even just floating in a gentle current feels nicer than a static pool. Crank it up and it's genuinely exciting. Been using it nearly every day for a month and love it as much as day one. Looks great in the pool too, not bulky or industrial.

Got mine today. It was very easy to plug and play. The jet flow is wonderful. I swam hard and it was able to provide plenty of push back that I got a fantastic work out in.

Current is solid and we use it constantly. X5 is great for casual swimming and play. Also curious about how the Pro performs ... maybe in the future.

Was planning a pool renovation for two years, kept delaying because of the cost. Got the X Pro 10 instead. The current is strong enough that I genuinely don't feel like I'm missing anything. No construction, no mess, no waiting.

Current is strong and fun. We've used it every day since it arrived.

I remember thinking "this better be good" when I ordered it. First session with the X Pro 10 and that feeling was gone. The current is strong enough to actually do something — swim against it, float in it, whatever. It's not a toy. Three and a half weeks of daily use and still love it.

We have a nice pool but it was always kind of just… there. Now with the X Pro 10, it's become the actual center of our evenings. We eat outside now so we can be near it. Sounds dramatic but it really changed how we use our backyard.

I am extremely happy with how the swim jet works, easy set up and go right out of the box. I was worried about how it would do in out above ground pool, but it works amazingly well. I had a few questions for customer service before purchasing and they were very friendly and responsive. Could not recommend this product enough! And it looks pretty cool too.

Hard to explain until you try it but a current transforms the experience of being in the water. You're not just floating in a static pool — there's something happening. Been using it almost every day for a month and that feeling hasn't gotten old.

Flow is strong and consistent, build feels premium, safety design is clearly thought through.

The product is very easy to install, but remember to press the orange button beside the battery. It took me some time.

Returned the budget set after about a week — current was weak and the noise is loud. Got the X Pro 10 and the difference was obvious from the first session. The X Pro 10 actually gives you something to swim against. Been about a month now, use it all the time.
