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.
Most of the teams in my kids summer league swim in lakes. Docks secure the lanes (50m) which run roughly parallel to shore. In a couple of lakes, the docks at both ends are attached to shore. But at other lakes one or both ends are floating docks. (Makes logistics of running a meet a lot of fun when you have to boat timers, officials, and/or swimmers out to the docks).
The league mainly swims 50s with occasional 100s, so there are few turns. Usually the end opposite the start end has plywood or something that extends down a few feet to facilitate finishes and turns, but open turns and above the water finishes are very common.
