To install a lap pool in your backyard, you'll need to consider the type of pool you want. For a traditional 40-by-8-foot lap pool, plan for at least 50-by-10 feet to allow room for decking. If you're considering an endless pool, you'll only need about 15-by-8 feet. Don't forget to account for other outdoor features you might have or want, like a swing set, shed, or garden. Planning your space carefully ensures you get the most enjoyment from your backyard.

A 40-foot lap pool is a great size for most homeowners. It provides enough length for a good workout while fitting comfortably in many backyards. Of course, the ideal size for your lap pool depends on your available space and budget. Consider talking with a professional pool builder to determine the best size and design for your needs.

Lap pools can be a worthwhile investment if you plan to use them regularly for exercise. If you enjoy swimming laps but prefer the convenience of staying at home, a lap pool might be perfect for you.

Keep in mind that lap pools are longer than average pools, typically around 40 feet, so you'll need adequate space in your backyard. While adding a lap pool can increase your home's value by about 7%, factors like the materials used and maintenance can affect the ROI. Also, potential buyers with young children or those wanting a traditional pool might not find a lap pool as appealing.

Fall is the best time to buy a lap pool. During this season, pool installation companies often offer special deals and savings to fill their schedules as business slows down. By purchasing your lap pool in the fall, you can take advantage of lower costs and ensure quality installation before the next swimming season.

To maintain your lap pool, regularly check the water level and add or drain water as needed. Test and balance the chemical levels to keep the water safe and clean. Inspect the tiles and surfaces for any damage, and promptly remove debris with a skimmer. Regularly vacuum the pool and clean the filter to ensure everything runs smoothly and your water stays crystal clear.
