Health Benefit Research

The NSPF® is the leading research sponsor and educator in the aquatics fields and is the largest funding source for grants to study aquatic health benefits in swimming pools and hot tubs.

Purchases of the Hot Water & Healthy Living Book will help to fund more health-benefit research in the future, some of which will be performed at the newly formed National Aquatics and Sports Medicine Institute at Washington State University which was funded in part by a $1 million grant from NSPF in January, 2008.

NSPF® has also committed over $800,000 to studying aquatic health benefits. “NSPF is taking a lead in demonstrating aquatic health benefits. This type of work will benefit mankind for decades,” says Dr. Lachocki. “By once again investing one-half of its grants budget, the NSPF is commissioning research that positions pools and spas to be a key defense in the war on chronic disease. Within the next year, we will grow the body of evidence to make it more evident that water is good for your body,” he emphasizes.
