Your own pool or not?

For all you chlorine addicted swimmers out there, who do not have their own pool, what would be some reasons you would not install a lap pool in your yard (assuming you had the money and room for a pool). I have wanted to buy a house just so I can put in a pool to swim in, however, I have a bit of motion sensitivity, and the rockier the water, the worse I feel. I'm thinking that a lap pool would be very choppy. That's the only reason I haven't moved yet. What would be your reasons?

  • Oh what the heck, if money were no object, 50 M by 25 Yd, at least 12 lanes, separate diving well, still with the retractable roof, plenty of locker room and deck space with a viewing area and separate lounge, weight room, and juice bar. (Then, when I wasn't doing laps, I could rent it out to all the nearby high schools and hold the State meet in it! All I need to do it hit the lottery!There is an empty property in Scottsdale that, every time I drive by, I tell my wife it'll be where I build a true natatorium. The building shell is there, might need to raise the roof a bit, but I'm thinking two indoor 50M pools so we can finally swim and race in a climate-controlled environment here in the Arizona summers and winters ... just need to hit the lottery as well.
