If you want to lap swim in your pool you need to consider that when planning. I try to swim laps every day.

This is our first pool and every day I like it more.

What is the size ( dimensions) of your pool? I'm asking as I would like to get one big enough for swimming laps.

Are you able to swim in the winter months with solar heating?

I swim the diagonal and no Olympic swimmer need worry about competition. Not sure of the size of the pool and too lazy to measure. We don't swim in the winter because the air is cold...er. We have both solar and other heating. This shows part of the diagonal with our grandson smiling. I am sure it isn't a long as it should be to get the workout that real athletes need.

But I am old and like waste baskets at the mail drop.

My pool is only 24 feet so not good for laps. We can not use the pool very often in January and February. I keep the solar running and the solar blanket on the pool. The short days and cool nights cause the temp most times under 80. I can get in the 80 it is getting out that is tough.
