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 haven't yet investigated costs, but my dream is to build a 3 lane x 25 meter pool in my backyard. In my wild fantasy, Myrtha pool constructs it. I'll be getting quotes later this year as I think this is a multi-year savings project for me. Based upon what I know of building play pools in Arizona, though, I think the $70k to $100K range would be right for a 2 or 3 lane, 25 yard or so pool by a traditional pool company. Bells and whistles like heating/cooling systems, automated covers, real lane lines, starting blocks, would be more.
Then, of course, if you go that far, you gotta consider the underwater tracking camera, touchpads and scoreboard. :)
Dream big.
I'd do the same. I'd also build stadium seating and hire extras to cheer me on during workouts.
