Swim jet vs. lap lane?

Hello, I am in the process of designing a new pool for my backyard. I have room and budget for a lap lane of 50 to 60 ft. After designing the details of the pool with the lead engineer, he suggested a swim jet as an alternative for me that would allow a cheaper (smaller) pool construction cost. Does anyone have experience with these type of products from a true swimmers point of view? I have a hard time believing the jets can really reproduce the same workout/resistances as a full lap lane, but I'm open to suggestions. I do swim all strokes at a decent swim rate. I do not want to be "held back" by a weak water stream, or wishing I had done the full lap lane instead. Thanks! Jeff

    Tell us what you decided! I'm surprised at the number of folks here that have "endless pool" experience. Personally I think that an underwater-lit, back yard, single lane pool would look so cool. Someone mentioned wave action in a narrow pool. Has anyone tried one? My personal fantasy has been to have an "endless pool'. as in a circular ring about 100ft diameter... no turns, just swimming in a continual curve.
