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 never got a bid - but I have thought about this several times. I wanted a 25 yard pool, about 1 1/2 lanes wide so I could have two lane ropes for one low turbulence lane. Here in Austin with a very hard (limestone-ish) ground people regularly spend $40-50K for an inground backyard pool. Pools here cost more than in many areas because of excavation costs. I just guessed that my desired pool would cost about $75K. Many backyard pools have fancier decks and related items than I would put in for my lap pool.
