No manufacturer pays us. How we make money
Room to swim. The lane, and the current you swim against.
The maker doesn't publish the open water on the 1302 Bench. Seats, steps and the current housing take their share of the 12′ 7″, so ask the dealer for it.
The swim pumps run only the current.
How currents compare →Lap swimmers like 78 to 82°F and a hot tub runs 100 to 104, so you pick a compromise or change the setting and wait.

California lists what a spa draws on standby, with the cover on. We found no listing that matches this model. No Coast Spas swim spa has one.
What owners say. About Coast Spas swim spas.
What they like
Layout and features liked, even by unhappy owners
Three swim spa owners who posted complaints still praised the product itself: a 1600 owner (Sept 2026) liked the layout and features, a 2023 owner loved the bench, and the owner of an older '13 L' model (2024) called it a very nice product. All three reviews are otherwise negative, so read this as 'the design isn't the problem', not as endorsements.
What they complain about
Cracks and build flaws soon after delivery
The owner of a new 1600 (September 2026) says it arrived with gaps in the wood frame and an uneven seam where the ends join, then developed a crack shortly after delivery; Coast called it a stress crack possibly caused by misuse and, eleven months on, first offered a patch kit and then nothing definite. A 2023 owner reports a shell problem soon after purchase, a failed topside controller after about a year and then a leak. A search-engine listing of Coast's Trustpilot page shows the same 1600 review, but we could not open Trustpilot to confirm it.
Slow warranty help, parts and delivery
Owners describe long waits: a swim spa delivered in late 2023 lost water from the start and shut itself down after 12 uses, with no fix eight months later; a 2023 owner says neither the dealer nor Coast provided warranty service; the owner of a three-year-old '13 L' swim spa was told the pump and model were discontinued and quoted about $900 to retrofit one; and a 2022 buyer describes a cancelled order, a price increase and delivery two months late. Two of these reviews drew a May 2024 reply offering help with the warranty concern through a technical-support email.

- Structure warranty not published. Get the warranty card before you sign, and read who pays labor, travel and removal.
- Frame and shellPartly
- Fiberglass-reinforced acrylic on a pressure-treated wood frame. The 2100 pages don't confirm the frame, and nothing about the base is published. Why it matters
- Getting at the equipmentPartly
- Keep every side reachable: Coast's manual says the equipment must stay accessible and the spa liftable out of any enclosure, but gives no clearance figure. Why it matters
- Cover and lifterPartly
- A 5-inch WeatherShield cover comes standard; a lifter doesn't, and a roll-up cover is an option. Why it matters

Electrical notes · Coast doesn't publish a per-model electrical requirement.
Coast doesn't publish a per-model electrical requirement. Its 2026 swim spa manual (pp.5, 20) says its spas use 120 V (isolated 15 A) or 240 V packs and that, depending on the model, a 240 V spa needs a 40, 50 or 60 A dedicated GFCI breaker, wired by a certified electrician; an optional auxiliary heater needs a separate 30 A breaker; and a 60 A Siemens GFCI is recommended with the Atlas Swim System because the variable-speed pump supplier found it avoids false trips. The swim FAQ repeats the ranges and says to consult the manual. Extension cords void low-voltage damage cover.

Coast Spas on the ten things we checkCurrent, room, frame, site, running cost, service, warranty and more
Ten things that decide whether a swim spa works for you and lasts, answered for Coast Spas’s swim spas. Tap any for the detail.
Swim currentJets, not a propeller: two or three lit, aimable River Jets, each on its own pumpPartly
Coast makes its current with 'River Jets', each fed by its own 4 HP pump: two on the 1302 Bench, two on the 1400 VE and 1401 VE (plus a smaller third swim jet that the manual's diagram puts on the seat pump), and three on the 1600, 1700 and 2100 Performance models, where Coast adds its 'Atlas' grill in front of them. The Sport Pro versions swap the fixed pumps for three variable-speed pumps with ten programmable settings. Coast doesn't publish flow, current width, top speed or whether air is mixed in.

Room to swimCoast Spas doesn't publish this. Ask the dealerNot published
Coast gives outside sizes from 151 in (12.6 ft) to 248 in (20.7 ft) and cabinet heights of 53 or 63.5 in, but no open swim length, lane width or water depth. The 1600 and 2100 models have the taller 63.5-inch cabinets; how deep their water is, Coast doesn't say. It also prints 'Seats NA' instead of a seat count.
What this means, and how to check it →coastspas.com ↗coastspas.com ↗
Frame and shellFiberglass-reinforced acrylic on a pressure-treated wood framePartly
Coast's 2026 manual says every swim spa has a fiberglass-reinforced acrylic shell, and its builder pages list a 'Pressure Treated Frame' of treated lumber, chosen to resist moisture damage. That is the wood-frame approach: strong when dry, at risk if a hidden leak soaks it. The 2100 VE pages drop the frame line, so ask what carries Coast's longest swim spa. Laminate thickness, framing and base aren't published.
What this means, and how to check it →coastspas.com ↗coastspas.com ↗
Site prepPlan on a reinforced concrete pad, a crane and a 40-60 A circuitPartly
Filled, Coast's swim spas weigh 13,664 to 27,121 lb. Its manual asks for at least a 3-inch concrete slab or decking built for 150 lb per square foot, while its FAQ recommends at least a 6-inch pad with fiber or rebar and rules out grass and mulch. Delivery is by crane with long straps and chains, and lifting damage isn't covered. Electrical depends on the model (40, 50 or 60 A, plus 30 A for an optional second heater), and Coast doesn't say which.
What this means, and how to check it →coastspas.com ↗coastspas.com ↗
Running costPartial foam is standard and full foam costs extraPartly
Coast fills only part of the cabinet with foam as standard ('Foam Core Insulation') and sells full foam and extra base-and-side panels as upgrades. It offers its own Coast Temperature Pro heat pump, which also cools, or 'Heat Pump Ready' plumbing for someone else's. Its 2024 brochure prints monthly running-cost ranges per model; we found no California energy listing to check them against.
What this means, and how to check it →coastspas.com ↗publuu.com ↗
Dual zoneNo dual-temperature model: every Coast swim spa is one body of water at one…Partly
All ten current Coast swim spas share one body of water between the swim lane and the seats, with one heater and one control. If you want a hot side and a cool swim side at the same time, Coast doesn't make one.
What this means, and how to check it →coastspas.com ↗coastspas.com ↗
Service accessKeep every side reachable: Coast's manual says the equipment must stay accessible…Partly
Coast warns owners who build decks or enclosures to keep the equipment reachable and to make sure the spa can be lifted out without wrecking the surroundings. Gate valves let a technician swap pumps and heaters without draining, and partial foam leaves more of the cabinet open than full foam does. The manual names widely used 'BP' spa packs for the touchscreen models, and Coast's own parts site lists the swim pumps and control packs, some marked 'Call to order'.
What this means, and how to check it →coastspas.com ↗coastspas.com ↗
Warranty termsCoast Spas doesn't publish this. Ask the dealerNot published
Coast posts no swim spa warranty card: its manuals refer to a card that comes with the spa and its FAQ sends warranty questions to dealers. What is public is a list of things that void coverage, from lifting damage to unapproved decking to the wrong chemicals, and a one-year warranty on the cover. Get the card for your exact model in writing before you sign.
What this means, and how to check it →coastspas.com ↗coastspas.com ↗
Cover and lifterA 5-inch WeatherShield cover comes standard; a lifter doesn't, and a roll-up cover…Partly
Coast's builder pages mark a 5-inch WeatherShield cover as standard on every swim spa except the 1601 (grey on the 1401 VE). Coast says the fabric is up to three times stronger and 25% lighter than vinyl, but doesn't say how many panels the cover has. Lifters, including a hydraulic one, and a roll-up cover are sold separately, and the cover's warranty is one year.
What this means, and how to check it →coastspas.com ↗coastspas.com ↗
Service and originBuilt in Langley, B.C., Canada, and sold and serviced through Coast's dealers; US…Partly
Coast says all of its swim spas are made at its Langley, British Columbia plant and exported to more than 50 countries. Warranty registration goes to Coast, but its manual and FAQ send service and warranty questions to the dealer that sold the spa, so the dealer's technicians and parts shelf matter as much as the spa. Coast runs its own parts site, and several unhappy owners describe slow answers from Coast and their dealer.

What Coast Spas says about itEach claim, what the documents show, and any catch
What Coast Spas leads with, where it covers the 1302 Bench, and what the documents show.
CommonEach swim jet on its own pumpOn two models the third swim jet shares the seat pump
What they sayReps say every River Jet gets its own 4 hp (6 bhp) pump, up to three jets and 12 hp (18 bhp) in all, lit and aimable, with the seats on a separate pump.
What the documents showThe 2026 manual's pump diagrams confirm separate River Jet pumps, but it's still a jet current and Coast publishes no flow, width or top speed.
Who else does itMulti-jet currents are the norm among jetted swim spas, and several makers, Master Spas and Cal Spas among them, run swim jets on pumps of their own.
Applies to: 1302 Bench, 1400 VE, 1401 VE, 1600 Sport, 1700 VE Sport, 2100 VE Sport (the Sport Pro models use variable-speed pumps instead)
The catch
On two models the third swim jet shares the seat pump. On the 1400 VE and 1401 VE the 2026 manual's diagram puts the third swim jet on the 5 HP seat pump, despite the page's 'powered solely' wording. Coast publishes no flow, current width or top speed for any of its currents, so ask to see one run at full speed.
CommonBuilt in Langley, B.C.
What they sayCoast says all its swim spas are made at its own plant in Langley, British Columbia, where it has built hot tubs and swim spas since 1990 for dealers in more than 50 countries.
What the documents showCoast states it in its FAQ and brochures and prints the Langley factory address everywhere; nothing contradicts it.
Who else does itSeveral swim spa makers build in Canada, among them Hydropool and Arctic Spas.
Few othersNew turbine counter-current (2100)No product page, borrowed specs
What they sayCoast's February 2026 2100 brochure introduces a 'Counter Current System' with an internal turbine (impeller), a dedicated high-flow pump and a wide laminar mouth, and says the '2100 Sports Pro Plus' reaches 'Up to 3.1 meters per second'.
What the documents showIt exists only in a brochure and a 'What's New' page: no product page, owner's manual entry or reliable spec.
Who else does itCoast's other current is jets; turbine and propeller currents are sold by a minority of makers (Endless Pools, PDC).
Applies to: Announced for a '2100 Sport Pro Plus'; not on any current Coast product page
WarrantyAs the maker publishes it
Years of cover as Coast Spas publishes them. Who pays labor, travel and removal matters as much as the years, so read the card before you sign.
- Structure
- Not published
What the card saysTerms not published.
Terms not published. Coast's 2026 manual lists what voids or falls outside the (unpublished) warranty: transport, mishandling or improper lifting damage; decking not built to its load guidance; wiring other than the manual's procedure; low-voltage damage from extension cords; exposure to hydrogen peroxide or TriChlor; operation outside 34-116 F; harsh-chemical shell damage; and crazing from leaving the spa drained in the sun. The swim FAQ gives the cover a one-year warranty.
