Frequently Asked Questions #
Lap Pool – 13.5m Fitness Lane Faqs #
Who is the Lap Pool best suited to?
Keen swimmers, triathletes, squad swimmers and anyone who genuinely wants to do proper laps at home. It’s designed with fitness and training in mind.
Can a Lap Pool still work for families?
Yes, but it’s more swim-focused than play-focused. Families still use them for fun and cooling off, but there’s less built-in seating than in an Entertainer or Oasis.
Does a Lap Pool require a long block?
Typically, yes. It’s designed to run down the yard rather than sit compactly near the house. If your block isn’t long enough, a Nova or Majestic can be a good compromise.
Can I add swim jets to a Lap Pool?
Absolutely — they work brilliantly in this style. The long narrow channel suits resistance swimming very well.
Is heating a Lap Pool expensive?
It depends on length, volume and heating type. With a good cover and an efficient heat pump or solar, running costs can still be reasonable.
How do you usually position a Lap Pool on site?
Often along a boundary or fence line to keep the centre of the yard open. We’ll look at access, crane position and clearances before finalising layout.
What are the Lap Pool dimensions?
External: 13.50m × 3.00m
Internal: 13.26m × 2.76m
Depth: Flat 1.50m
What minimum yard size is recommended for a Lap Pool?
Around 15.50m × 5.00m, assuming approx. 1.0m to the boundary and 1.5m to the dwelling, subject to approvals.
