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.

A 20 x 40 gunite is the typical backyard pool in our area.
Contractors allow as a rule of thumb...$10,000 per ten feet on the length if it's a gunite pool with nice coping details.
(Example...a 50 foot pool...$50K...a 60 foot pool...$60K...etc.)
If the lap pool is narrow...(12 feet wide)...it's probably a good guestimate that a 12' x 75' would fall into the range of a 20' x 40' cost.
In other words roughly $40k. Which includes the equipment, coping and tile along the water line.
To lower the cost, you could always go with a vinyl liner rather than gunite. It would keep the numbers way down.
Again prices will vary around the country, all depending on where you live, and what kind of quality you're looking for.
