Against Quote by Rupert Penry-Jones
“Our pool is outdoors, but it's heated, and I've got one of those machines that produces waves you have to swim against; like a jogging treadmill, really, only it's in water. Basically, it means you can have a small pool, swim for miles, and get nowhere.”

A heated outdoor pool with a wave machine creates a treadmill‑like swimming experience, letting you exercise intensely without covering distance.
In simple terms: A pool that lets you swim hard but stay in place.
Use it for high‑intensity, low‑impact cardio.
