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.

About 15 years ago a guy here put in the following:
1) A 1-lane 25-yard lap pool, half indoors and half outdoors. A glass garage door separates the indoor from the outdoor; he raises the door when he wants to swim. In the winter he raises it just enough to be able to recover his arms without hitting it.
2) A normal-sized, in-ground backyard pool, EXCEPT that it is 12 feet deep. This is because it is situated next to the 2nd-floor deck, to allow for diving off the deck railing.
3) A small, in-ground hot tub.
I believe the cost for all of this, 15 years ago, was about $90,000.
