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.
That is absolutely gorgeous. The architecture is really nice. I'd to have something like that in my backyard.
I will say though, for my outdoor pool, this automatic cover is the best invention ever. It keeps so many leaves and bugs, as well as dirt, out of the pool. It also keeps the water and chemicals in. All you do is turn a key and in a couple seconds the pool is open. Turn the key the other way and its closed.
