Tourism & Travel / health and beauty centre in a hotel
Spanish term or phrase: "río contra corriente"
It's in a list of things offered at a hotel's health and beauty centre (along with steam bath, jacuzzi etc.)- does anyone know the exact translation into English? (although they appear on the Internet, I don't really like 'current river' or 'counter current river').
Many thanks in advance.

Elegí esto para dejarlo más abierto (que era mejor para mi contexto)- aunque quizá la otra respuesta valga para otros contextos más concretos.
