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?

  • I have a pool and although I fought my husband on it, thinking it was the most crazy decadent thing we could ever have done, I LOVE IT. One lane, 25 yards. Yes, it gets choppy, but as an open water freak, I consider it good training. In Massachusetts, it only made sense to do it indoors, and yes, I know we went a bit overboard. People used to come to our house and say, "You built a pool? Have you seen your kitchen?" since the pool was quite a bit nicer than our house. Anyway, well worth it.
