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.
I've got a 20 yard straight pool in my backyard that is about 2 lanes wide.
We built it about 13 years ago. It has an automatic cover and heater. It is an inground pool with a deck, but has a vinyal liner(not concrete). I think we paid around $30,000 at the time. Since then the automatic cover had to be replaced($4000 on special), and we,ve replaced 2 pumps. ($600 each w/a friend doing it).
I wish I would have made it a full 25 yards long. I was afraid it would look outrageous; it would have been fine and wouldn't have cost much more.
It can get a little wavy when you swim but nothing terrible. I would like to get a couple wave eating lane lines and it would probably cut that down alot.
It has been a fun pool to have. It was great when the kids were young because I could go out and swim after they went to bed!
I don't workout in it much now since I've joined Nasti's but my son and one of my daughters have started doing laps semi-regularly.
Maintenence is fairly easy but chemicals can get expensive.
