The team was professional from the first phone call to the final handover. Our backyard has never looked better.
A long, consistent depth pool designed for real swimming, sized to suit narrow Canberra blocks and side yards.
A lap pool trades width for length, built at a consistent depth for real swimming rather than just cooling off. It fits the long, narrow side yards common on newer Canberra blocks, and a swim jet can give you a full workout where your yard will not stretch to a longer pool.

A lap pool trades width for length, which makes it the natural choice for anyone who wants to swim properly rather than just float. It also happens to suit the narrow side yards and boundary strips common on newer Canberra blocks.
From a compact eight metre shell up to a full twenty five metre pool, depending on what your yard allows.
Designed for a smooth, uninterrupted stroke rather than the varied depth of a leisure pool.
A counter-current jet lets you swim continuously in a much shorter pool, ideal for tighter blocks.
Solar, heat pump and gas heating extend your swimming season well beyond summer.
A lap pool’s shape suits the tight boundary strips found on many newer Canberra estates.
We will help you choose the construction method that best suits your length and budget.

We chose ACT Pools for the warranty. The installation was clean, fast, and the quality is undeniable.

Our kids practically live in the water now. It is the best investment we have made in our home.

A sloping block and tight side access, and they never blinked. The crew left the yard cleaner than they found it.

They handled everything: the dig, the crane, the fencing paperwork. One point of contact, no surprises.

About fibreglass, timelines and getting council approval in Canberra.
There is no single standard length. Home lap pools commonly range from around eight metres up to twenty five metres, depending on the block and budget. A pool as short as eight to ten metres with a swim jet system can still deliver a genuine workout.
Most residential lap pools are around two and a half to three metres wide, just enough for a comfortable stroke, and as long as the block allows. We will help you find the length that balances a proper swim with what actually fits your yard.
Cost is driven mainly by length and depth rather than the fact that it is a lap pool specifically, so pricing sits in a similar range to a standard pool of the same size and construction method. We provide a detailed quote once we know your preferred length and site conditions.
Not necessarily. A shorter pool fitted with a counter current swim jet system lets you swim against a continuous current, which can suit a tighter block far better than a long, narrow shape.
Yes! Many of our lap pool builds include a shallower entry section, wide steps or an attached spa, so the pool still works for kids and casual swimming alongside serious lap sessions.
