- Year-Round Usability: Lap pools can be enjoyed year-round, due to integrated heating systems that support both indoor and outdoor installations.
- Easier Maintenance and Lower Operating Costs: Due to their smaller volume compared to full-size pools, lap pools require less water, fewer chemicals, and reduced energy for heating and circulation, resulting in long-term savings.
- Ideal for Fitness Training: Many models support swim current systems, resistance jets, or tether systems, allowing for advanced fitness training in a compact space.

Our 6-Step Installation Process
Building a lap pool involves careful planning and precision at every stage. Here’s how our process works

1. Initial Consultation & Site Assessment
The process begins with a detailed consultation and on-site assessment. Our team evaluates the property layout, soil conditions, and available space, taking precise measurements to determine the most suitable pool size, placement, and orientation for your backyard.

2. Custom Design & Planning
Once the site details are clear, we move into the design phase. A custom lap pool plan is developed to suit your lifestyle, fitness goals, and budget. At this stage, we finalise choices such as pool materials, depth, heating options, and additional features, ensuring everything is tailored to your needs.

3. Permits & Approvals
Before construction begins, all required council permits and approvals are managed on your behalf. We ensure that your lap pool project complies with local building codes and safety regulations to eliminate delays and giving you peace of mind.

4. Excavation & Ground Preparation
After approvals, excavation begins. The ground is carefully prepared and reinforced to match the exact dimensions of your pool design. This step ensures structural stability and provides a strong foundation for long-term durability.

5. Pool Construction & Installation
With the site ready, the pool shell—whether concrete or fiberglass is installed. Our team integrates essential systems including plumbing, filtration, heating, and lighting, to ensure your lap pool is both functional and efficient from day one.

6. Final Handover
Once construction is complete, we conduct thorough inspections, water testing, and finishing touches before handing over a lap pool that is ready for safe, year-round enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lap pool?

How is a lap pool different from a regular swimming pool?

What is the standard size of a lap pool?
The standard size of a lap pool is around 12–15 metres long and 2–3 metres wide. However, lengths can vary depending on backyard space and whether the pool is intended for fitness training or leisure.
How much does a lap pool cost in Sydney?
