I am designing a 25 yard lap pool for back yard. The pool will be 12 feet wide and 75 feet long. As of now, I am not sure whether to add gutters to eliminate the waves when I swim. I know the gutters will be great, but the addition is very expensive. I am considering not adding the gutters and instead putting the floating lanes dividers which will break the waves. I am not sure if the floating lane lines are enough, especially in such a narrow pool. Does anyone have any experience which could help?

A guy from our swim team has such a pool in his house: 25 yards long, starting block at one end, backstroke flags, pace clock, etc. I'm looking at photos of it right now and I'd guess it's 10 to 12 feet wide.
He left out the gutters and went with the lane-line idea. The lane lines are positioned about a foot from each side of the pool. They work very well. I've circle-swum in the pool with three other people and the waves weren't a problem.
