THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT LAP POOLS:
WHAT IS A LAP POOL?
One of the most common questions we get asked is “ We are thinking of getting a Lap Pool, but how long is a LAP POOL?
A Lap Pool is usually considered a long slender pool, just imagine a pool designed narrowly, to swim laps only, however, a Lap Pool doesn’t have to be a specific width or length.
The Masterbuilt pool range offers fibreglass Lap Pools which we call, of course, the Lap Pool. We can offer a lap Pool in a size of a 10m x 2.5m.
HOW LONG ARE LAP POOLS?
A typical school swimming pool is 25m, which is half the length of an Olympic sized swimming pool.
At Inspire Pools, we would consider a Lap Pool any pool that is considerably narrower than its length. For some, they consider one to be at least 10 or 14m, whereas some only require 6m or 8m. There is no real standard.
HOW WIDE ARE LAP POOLS?
Our Lap Pools are 2.5m (internal) minimum in width, we would suggest this is the minimum required for lap swimming. Our Fast Lane pools are 2.8m (external) 2.5m (internal), this width provides a comfortable space to perform a normal stroke without feeling confined.
HOW DEEP ARE LAP POOLS?
Our Fast Lane series all have a flat bottom, and they are 1.5m deep.
This depth is still deep enough to provide for family fun, all the jumping and splashing the kids can handle. This depth is adequate to punch put serious strokes and safe enough to allow you to stand safely.
HOW MUCH DOES A LAP POOL COST?
The cost of a standard Lap Pool is like any other fibreglass swimming pool. All pool prices are site-specific and depend on additions to the pool package.
WHERE CAN A LAP POOL GO?
As long as you have adequate space, to allow the Lap Pool to be positioned, A Lap Pool can be positioned almost anywhere.
ARE LAP POOLS HARDER TO MAINTAIN?
No, a Lap Pool is like any other pool, they will require the same amount of maintenance as any other pool type.
CAN I DO LAPS IN MY LAP POOLS ?
YES, absolutely you can, that’s the whole reason to have a Lap Pool, although being 15m in length it will not be the same as a 25 or 50m pool.
