So I want to build a private pool in my yard. The bigger the pool, the more expensive it is going to be. A 25 meter (82ft) pool would be ideal, but too big and expensive. A 6 meter (20ft) pool is affordable, but too small.
What is the absolute minimum length for a pool to swim laps in?
The size of the yard is not a limiting factor; it's pretty big.

Although a 25 meter pool would be perfect, a 15 meter pool would also work. 15 meters is at least long enough to get in some strokes, before you make your turn to swim back.

I hate swimming laps in anything but a 25 or 50 meter pool. But I'm a freak and I like to record my times and my pace whenever I do laps, so they're the only accurate sizes in which I can do that.

An Olympic sized pool is 50 meters long.

Try a 7 meter pool.

Try those endless pools where you swim against the current and never have to reach the wall.

It can be pretty small, you just have to swim more laps!
