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 few years ago I was asked to boat coach a 50 and over team paddling in the Molokai Channel canoe race. We spent the night before the race at house belonging to one of the paddlers friends, way out in the country at the north end of Molokai. The house not only had a private airstrip with 2 planes and a small helicopter but an above ground two lane 50 meter pool complete with lights, lane lines, starting blocks, and pace clock! The owner wasn't there at the time but evidently was a pretty good swimmer in his day and had his priorities straight when it came to toys. And yes, I went for a workout that evening.
