First Post: Constructing a low cost pool for a fitness club

I just don't understand why its so hard to find information on this topic. I try to tell people I'm serious about doing this and every person has basically laughed in my face.

Yeah I know I'm inexperienced. Don't really have the capital to do this. Probably way in it over my head. But can't someone dream? can't they at least try to learn the craft. I am at a big disadvantage and I understand that.

Knowing a little bit about my circumstances is anyone willing to point me in the right direction? Everyone is saying it cannot be done, what if I told you it has to be done... than what?

Your question is sort of like asking, "How can I buy and have delivered, a pro-quality lifting bar and a full set of plates, from 10 lbs to 100bls each, for $100?"


I promise -- we'll spend more on YOUR question, when you *successfully* answer the one above. OK?

Seriously, dude -- listen to yourself! You were ENTIRELY correct, when you wrote:

But you were only half-right when you wrote this:

You ARE at a big disadvantage, but you do NOT understand it: if you did, you'd understand what we've been trying to tell you somewhat politely.

So, it's time to be "FranK" rather than polite: It is NOT possible to build a functional indoor lap pool in the US for $25,000. And, you're being dumb by continuing to ask. Come back when you have a budget of $300,000 for a CHEAP indoor lap pool! That *might* be possible.

Alright. I may be able to bring about $100,000 for the pool. but if thats 1/3rd of what it takes to maybe make it happen than I will hold off for sure... Where can I go to calculate the costs of making a pool? thanks.

Let's just leave it right there, and stop wasting your time, and ours.
