I work in the construction industry and have been involved directly with pool construction for 9 years. I’ve seen everything from a simple 20×30 deck to $500K commercial projects, but one of my favorite projects thus far was building a lap pool for a friend’s home. But I’ve worked on many different types of pool construction, from round-lap walls to fiberglass pools and even natural stone. The average cost to build a lap pool varies greatly based on a variety of factors.
Cost to build lap pool
It depends on the size of the pool and the quality of construction, but you’re looking at an average of $15,000 to $20,000.
A lap pool is a popular choice if you have limited space. To keep costs down, choose a smaller size (for example, 10 feet by 20 feet) that suits your needs.
If you want to make your lap pool as safe as possible for children, consider installing a safety cover so they can play in it year-round.
Average cost to build a lap pool
The average cost to build a lap pool is $28,000 to $87,500. The average cost to build an indoor lap pool is $65,000 to $175,000. The average cost to build a small lap pool is $10,500 to $20,500.
The cost of installing a swimming pool will depend on the size and type of the pool. For example, it can cost between $16,000 and $30,000 for a concrete fiberglass-lined aboveground pool with an average depth of 4 feet (1.2 m) and an average length of 20 feet (6 m). A 15-foot by 30-foot (4.6 m by 9 m) in-ground vinyl liner pool can cost anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000 depending on whether it’s installed by professionals or if you do it yourself with help from friends and family members who have construction experience.
The price for installing an inground swimming pool can vary widely depending on its size and location as well as whether it needs to be excavated or not and whether it includes a deck or not. For example, installing an inground fiberglass-lined aboveground 16-by 32-foot.
