Lap pool dimensions

With 65 years of experience in the design and construction of pools, here are Neptune Pools' top considerations when designing a lap pool.

Lap pools have emerged as a popular alternative to regular swimming pools, especially as people look for more ways to maximize their private gardens and introduce a greater variety of personal exercise into their routines. If you're interested in installing a lap pool on your property, then one of the biggest considerations will be the size you choose.

Lap swimming pool layouts are streamlined and elongated, designed primarily for swimming laps and aquatic exercises. This type of pool typically has a long, narrow rectangular shape, providing a straight and clear path ideal for continuous swimming. Lap Swimming Pool layouts have typical lengths between 30’-50’ (9.1-15.2 m), widths of 10’ (3 m), and overall areas in the range of 294-491 ft2 (27-46 m2).
