A lap pool is a long, narrow swimming pool specifically designed for fitness swimming, exercise, and physical training. Unlike traditional backyard pools, lap pools prioritize length over width, allowing swimmers to complete continuous laps without interruption. Ecopool offers two ways to bring a lap pool to your backyard: the S-Series for fully custom sizes and shapes, or Container Pools for a streamlined 8x40 or 16x40 configuration. Whether you're training for a triathlon, staying fit, or simply enjoying a morning swim, our lap pools deliver the perfect experience.
Every Ecopool lap pool is factory-built with precision steel construction and delivered ready to install. Choose the S-Series for unlimited customization—any length, width, depth, or shape you can imagine. Or choose a Container Pool for a sleek 8x40 or 16x40 lap pool built from repurposed shipping containers. Both options install in days, not months, and cost significantly less than traditional concrete lap pools.
The S-Series Inground lap pool is designed to disappear seamlessly into your landscape. Whether your yard is narrow, sloped, or unconventional, our custom sizing means your lap pool fits perfectly—from compact 8' x 20' plunge pools to expansive 16' x 80' competition lanes.
Every S-Series Inground lap pool includes your choice of stairs, ladders, LED lighting, jets, and more. With depths up to 9 feet and unlimited length options, the S-Series Inground delivers the ultimate in-ground lap swimming experience.
Our Container Lap Pools transform repurposed shipping containers into stunning backyard pools. Available in 8x40 and 16x40 configurations, these pools deliver serious lap swimming in a compact footprint. With 5x the steel reinforcement of traditional pools, you can install them inground, above-ground, or partially above-ground.
Container pools are ideal for narrow yards, rooftop installations, or anywhere you want the industrial-modern aesthetic of CORTEN steel. The best part? They're more affordable than traditional lap pools and install in just days.
Rather than waiting months or even up to a year for a traditional lap pool to be built, Ecopools install in as little as 2-3 days. Both our S-Series and Container Pools leave the factory fully assembled and ready for installation. No months of construction, no endless permits—just a beautiful lap pool ready for your first swim.
Both S-Series and Container lap pools feature our high-performance polymer membrane interior. This advanced surface replicates the look of luxury 3D tile, natural stone, or custom patterns—without the maintenance headaches of traditional tile. Choose from our curated collection or request a custom interior to match your vision.
Add a window to see into your lap pool—perfect for watching swimmers or simply enjoying the underwater views. Both S-Series and Container lap pools can be equipped with acrylic windows, LED lighting, integrated benches, and more. Transform your backyard into your own private training facility.
A backyard lap pool provides low-impact, high-resistance exercise that's easier on joints than running or cycling. From swimming laps to water aerobics and rehabilitation, an Ecopool lap pool supports your fitness goals without leaving home.
Say goodbye to over-chlorinated public pools. Ecopool's polymer membrane makes maintaining proper sanitation easier, and our optional UV sanitation system can reduce chemical usage by 85% or more—so your water stays crystal clear with less effort.
The ideal lap pool size depends on your swimming goals and available space. For casual fitness swimming, a 30-40 foot pool provides enough room for a good workout. Serious swimmers and triathletes often prefer 50-75 foot pools for longer, uninterrupted strokes. With the S-Series, you're not limited to standard sizes—build exactly what fits your backyard and your goals.
The classic container lap pool. Perfect for narrow lots, side yards, and urban backyards. Delivers a solid 40-foot swimming lane in a compact 8-foot width.
A popular S-Series configuration. The extra width allows for two swimmers side-by-side, while 60 feet provides serious training distance.
Room for lap swimming plus a shallow lounge area. Add a baja ledge at one end for relaxation without sacrificing swimming distance.
With the S-Series, build any size up to 100+ feet. L-shapes, T-shapes, or simple rectangles—your lap pool, your specifications.
The S-Series Architectural lap pool makes a bold statement. Designed to stand proud above the ground, this pool features sculptural lines and a minimalist silhouette that transforms your backyard into an architectural showcase.
Perfect for sloped lots, hillside properties, or anywhere you want your lap pool to be a visual centerpiece. The above-ground design also means less excavation, faster installation, and easier access to equipment for maintenance.
Learn MoreLap swimming is one of the most effective full-body workouts available. It builds cardiovascular endurance, strengthens muscles, and improves flexibility—all while being gentle on joints. For athletes recovering from injury, seniors maintaining mobility, or anyone seeking a sustainable fitness routine, a backyard lap pool provides the ultimate convenience.
Swimming engages every major muscle group simultaneously. Each stroke works your arms, shoulders, core, back, and legs—building lean muscle and burning calories more efficiently than most land-based exercises.
Water supports 90% of your body weight, eliminating the joint stress of running or weight training. This makes lap swimming ideal for those with arthritis, back pain, or recovering from surgery.
Regular lap swimming strengthens your heart, improves circulation, and lowers blood pressure. Studies show swimmers have roughly half the risk of death compared to inactive people.
The rhythmic nature of swimming combined with controlled breathing creates a meditative state that reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. Many swimmers report improved sleep and mood.
Swimming requires stretching, reaching, and twisting through a full range of motion. Over time, this improves overall flexibility and can help prevent injuries in other activities.
Unlike high-impact sports, swimming is sustainable at any age. Whether you're 25 or 75, a lap pool provides a workout you can maintain for life without wearing down your body.
Traditional concrete lap pools typically cost $80,000 to $150,000+ and take 3-6 months to build. Ecopool lap pools start at a fraction of that price and install in days.
Container lap pools offer the most affordable entry point for serious lap swimming. S-Series pools cost more but deliver unlimited customization and premium features. Both options include our industry-leading warranty and require significantly less maintenance than concrete pools.

For effective lap swimming, we recommend a minimum of 30-40 feet. Serious swimmers often prefer 50-75 feet. Olympic pools are 164 feet (50 meters), but most backyard swimmers find 40-60 feet provides an excellent workout. With the S-Series, you can build any length that fits your space.
A single swimming lane requires 8 feet of width—the standard width of our Container pools. If you want room for two swimmers or prefer a more spacious feel, 10-12 feet is ideal. The S-Series can be built to any width you prefer.
For lap swimming, 3.5 to 4.5 feet is typically sufficient. This depth allows for comfortable swimming strokes while still being able to touch the bottom. If you plan to dive or want deeper water, the S-Series can accommodate depths up to 9 feet.
Yes. Lap pools are designed to maximize swimming distance while minimizing width. An 8x40 Container pool fits in most side yards and narrow lots. The S-Series can be customized to fit virtually any space, including L-shaped configurations that work around obstacles.
