Above or Partially Above Ground Rectangular Lap Pool?

[HighWall]

Thanks for the response. I wasn't sure my first posting "took" as the registration procedure was a little confusing for me.

What I really wanted was to review existing threads and view photos. I was attempting to fulfill the required first posting introduction.

Basically, it's my wife that's the swimmer, but she turned pool research over to me. My only real prior experience was with an above ground pool at one of my parent's houses over 40 years ago. It was ugly and difficult to remove as it was sitting on a 27' diameter reinforced concrete pad. This was before it was a simple thing to rent power hammers. My folks thought it would be a good project for my friend and me to take it out with a cold chisel and sledge hammer. Not the best memories of my misspent youth. That same summer we spent a bunch of time cutting railroad ties with hand saws and flinging them around.

I'll check out the companies mentioned. Thanks again. At this point, we are leaning toward an Endless fiberglass rectangular pools with the current generator, but we're still crunching numbers and considering our options.

Thanks again.

I think an Endless Pool or some other swim current pool is the only way to swim in the space you have. In 26' you'd be unlikely to get a couple strokes before turning. I've tried to demonstrate stoke form to my kids in our 24' AG. It didn't work well because I was unable to show them connected strokes.
