I'm wondering how much it costs to put a pool in my backyard that just has one or two lap lanes? Anybody done this that can give me an idea on price? It may be worth it for me given that I live in a remote location and the only nearby pool is not well-suited for lap swimming.
It won't be cheap, that's for sure. Add in the newt deck/patio, the landscaping, the furniture, lighting, etc and you have a nice bill. I'd guess based on a few neighbors and in-laws who put in a pool that you are looking at $20-$25K minimum and their pools are not 25 yards, not even close. The folks that live behind up just put in the full blown back yard pool, outdoor kitchen, etc and the rumor is it cost $100K. I don't know if that is true but the point is you can probably spend as much as you want on these things. An alternative might be one of those endless pools that Rowdy peddles but those look dreadfully boring.
