X-Trainer
Lap swimming meets family fun
The number-one option for many families. Great both for fitness and fun — with an unobstructed swimming corridor, a wide bench for kids to rest and a shallow-to-deep floor. Nine sizes from a 5.78m courtyard fit up to an 11.74m family centrepiece, including slim (SL) variants for narrow blocks.

What defines it
Uninterrupted swim corridor
The centre of the pool is one continuous lane — no benches or steps in the swimming path. Real laps, not half-laps.
Wide shallow bench
A wide sun-shelf along one side — perfect for kids, sitting adults, floating loungers or as a safety break for non-swimmers.
Slim (SL) variants
The 8.2 SL, 7.15 SL and 5.8 SL are 3.0m (or 2.7m) wide instead of 4.2m — built for inner-city sites and side-of-house spots.
Infinity-edge ready
Disappearing-edge water is possible on the X-Trainer 10.2 and 11.8 with the right site (slope or elevation needed).

X-Trainer — common questions
What is an X-Trainer designed for?
The X-Trainer combines a clear lap-swim corridor with a family relaxation zone — an in-floor bench at one end for lounging and kids, then an unobstructed swim lane. It's Compass's answer to the "I want to swim laps but the family also wants a normal pool" question.
How long is the swim corridor on each size?
On the 8.2m X-Trainer you get around 6.5m of clear swim corridor. On the 10.2m, closer to 8m. The 11.8m gives you a full 10m lap length, which is plenty for a genuine fitness-swim session at home.
What's the difference between X-Trainer and X-Trainer SL?
The SL (Slimline) variants are narrower — around 3.4m wide vs the standard 3.75m. Same length, same swim corridor length, just a slimmer footprint for narrower blocks. Available on 8.2SL, 7.15SL and 5.8SL.
Is our SPASA Gold-award pool an X-Trainer?
Yes — our SPASA Gold-award build at Johns River is an X-Trainer 9.4 with Maxi Rib construction and an infinity edge on the low side of a naturally sloping block, finished in Sapphire Bi-Luminite. It's one of our most-photographed installs.
Can I have Vantage self-cleaning on an X-Trainer?
Yes — Vantage is available across the full X-Trainer range and works particularly well because the long lap corridor gives the water a clean return path.
Which size X-Trainer suits a typical Port Macquarie backyard?
The 8.2 and 9.4 are our most-installed X-Trainers locally. The 8.2 fits comfortably in a standard suburban block with room for surrounds; the 9.4 suits larger blocks where the client wants a proper lap experience. On tight blocks we'll often recommend an 8.2SL slimline.
