The tech industry has spent the last decade making our homes smarter, our cars more efficient, and our gyms more connected. Now, Silicon Valley has finally set its sights on the backyard pool. The iGarden X Series Swim Jet, the winner of the prestigious CES 2026 Innovation Award, has been revealed as the most advanced portable propulsion system ever built for residential aquatic use.
The X Series represents a significant engineering breakthrough. As the first AI boosted swim jet, the iGarden X series moves away from the bulky, tethered systems of the past toward a sleek, independent, and highly intelligent unit. By combining high-output fluid dynamics with cutting-edge battery technology, iGarden has created a device that rivals built-in “endless pool” systems costing ten times as much.
The Specs: Best-in-Class Engineering
At the heart of the X Series is a propulsion system that delivers a flow speed of 3.5m/s and a volume of 250m³/h. To put that in perspective, this is a “Best in Class” performance that provides a professional-grade current in a footprint that is small enough to be carried by one person. The unit features six digital speed settings, allowing for precision control over the aquatic environment.
The battery technology is equally impressive. Designed for the power-user, it offers:
10-Hour Runtime: Enough for a full day of testing or multiple long-distance training sessions.
Longevity: Engineered for 600+ charge cycles with a 3-5 year lifespan, ensuring the hardware remains a staple of the user’s fitness routine for years.
IP65 Protection: Full waterproofing that protects the sophisticated internal sensors and motors.
A Digital Ecosystem for Swimmers
Hardware is only half the story. The iGarden X Series is a truly “Connected” device. Via the iGarden Smart App, the Swim Jet becomes a digital coach. Users can remotely adjust flow speeds in real-time, set training timers for interval sessions, and track workout records to monitor fitness gains.
The app also features multi-user access, a critical feature for shared environments or training clubs. By allowing multiple users to sync their data and preferences to a single unit, the X Series becomes a versatile tool for everyone from the casual swimmer to the data-driven athlete.
The Kickstarter Disruption
“We didn’t just want to move water; we wanted to digitize the swimming experience,” says the iGarden engineering team. This vision will be brought to the global market through a Kickstarter campaign starting in early March.
Early adopters can gain access to the Limited VIP Offer, which slashes the price by 45%, bringing the starting cost to just $699. For tech enthusiasts and early adopters, this represents the most significant advancement in “Blue Tech” in over a decade.
