How much to put in a lap lane in your backyard

I think the cheapest solution is an Endless Pool, and that will run about $15k. I was seriously considering one until my wife convinced me that we just needed to move closer to civilization (aka her work and a USMS team). Some nice benefits: - It takes up a little more space than a hottub, and installation is similar. - It can be installed indoors if you have the space - It is installed in a day - Uses a lot less water than a in ground lap pool - It is much cheaper than even the cheapest in ground pool Drawbacks - no flip turns - You set your pace, than swim. Although you can vary your pace some, you won't be able to go from moderate to sprint - cheaper than an in ground pool is still not cheap. Check out their website, get the video, go try one out. I did find another brand who makes something similar in a fiberglass shell format (Endless Pools is (or was) a lined steel box that is built onsite), and one of their options is a hot tub plus flume. The demo options and customer testimonials were pretty sparse compared to Endless Pools, but the overall cost should be about the same. I think the shell ran about $10k, so I guess total would be similar to the Endless Pool. Endless Pool will send you a price list as will this other company (don't remember who they are). Just contact them through their website. Endless Pools will probably have a bunch of offers this Fall as they go into slow season. The base price stayed the same (when I was paying attention), and the offers were things like free installation, free retractable cover, deeper pool and longer pool. All this knowledge is at least 6 years old now, so hopefully it is still fairly accurate.
