Lap pools make a lot of sense, providing full-length swimming without taking up much yard space, maintenance, energy or money to build. Swimming in a Lap Pool is also nice, as it seems easier to maintain concentration over time (at least for us). Our Lap Pools have a shorter wall height than total depth, which makes building the pool faster and less expensive. It's also a nice shape to keep clean and to swim in!

It’s easy to take care of, and with its all around insulation and small surface area, it keeps its heat, especially if covered. The combination of vinyl liner and small capacity keeps chemical costs down, and the narrow shape is easy to clean. These plans include detailed directions and diagrams for building a 4’x32’ concrete block pool, along with a 5’x5’ spa and surrounding wood deck, and all plumbing details. Depth of the pool is 4’ and depth of the spa is 33". All materials, equipment and labor is an additional cost and not included.

The Lap Pool & Deck is designed to be built in-ground, but it can be very easily combined with the wall construction of the Fun Pool to be built as an Above Ground Lap Pool! This also means that the Lap Pool can be built partially into a hillside, with some of the wall structure entirely above-grade. This really opens up a lot of possibilities for people's yards!

The estimated cost to build the Lap Pool & Spa as shown in these photos and described in the plans is between $7,500 and $10,500, depending on decking choices and local materials cost variations. (These prices are at the end of Summer 2021 and have gone up 50% in the past few months due to the pandemic inflation.)

You'll need a clear space of at least 37' x 20' to build the pool shown.
