Hi everyone,

I want to build a short course indoor swimming pool (SCM: 25 m ~ 82 feet ~ 27.3 yd).

It´s going to have only two lanes, because it´s for private use.

Building an exercise pool (2.5m x 5m) is much cheaper, but i really don´t feel confortable swimming against a machine. By the way, what do you think about resistance swimming?

I want to see, if it´s possible, pics of the pools where you swim, no matter if they are very different from what i´m building, it´s just to get ideas.

Thanks.

Thanks Darren. I've seen the video as well.

To the OP, I don't have pictures, but it's very possible. People sometimes build them in their backyards down here in Texas. Then, it's just a matter of putting a roof over it (you can get a cheap, metal shed put on it and it would probably suffice.)

My only word of advice is to maybe go saltwater. Indoor pools get really complicated when they're chlorinated because of corrosion/air quality issues.
