Lap Pool Love
Offering private-plunge fun in a trendy little package, the lap pool has become an aquatic icon with a reach way beyond exercise. The term now describes any long and narrow pool, so it can be both a style choice and the ideal immersive for a size-challenged backyard. Include a sun shelf, beach entry, integrated spa — whatever your private-oasis priorities. Infinity edges and modern overflows add visual appeal and make the water less choppy if you do want to get that butterfly practice in. Or churn up the pool deliberately with deck jets, bubblers, waterfalls and cascading scuppers. Drop it in a deck, wrap it in a patio: Lap pool installation can be in-ground, above-ground or a little of both. Serious swimmers like a pool 40 feet or longer, but your resident seal will enjoy even the smaller models with swim jets that provide a constant current to swim against. So, itty-bitty backyard and petite-patio homeowners, fret not: You can fit a lap pool there. Let us show you.
