Health and Fitness Benefits of Lap Pools
Our full suite of pool renovation services covers every aspect needed to renovate, repair, and restore your pool, no matter its condition.
Low-Impact Exercise
Lap swimming offers an excellent low-impact workout suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. The buoyancy of water lessens stress on joints while providing resistance that enhances strength and endurance. Our Brisbane lap pool builders recognise the importance of designing pools that support effective exercise routines.
Cardiovascular Health
Regular lap swimming significantly boosts cardiovascular health, helping to strengthen the heart, improve circulation, and lower blood pressure. The rhythmic nature of swimming laps offers an excellent aerobic workout that can be maintained for extended periods.
Full-Body Conditioning
Swimming engages nearly every muscle group in the body, providing comprehensive conditioning that enhances strength, flexibility, and endurance. Different swimming strokes target various muscle groups, enabling diverse and effective workout routines.
Mental Health Benefits
The meditative qualities of lap swimming can help lower stress, boost mood, and promote better sleep. The mix of physical activity and the calming effects of water creates an ideal environment for mental well-being.
Our Lap Pool Construction Process
Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation at your property. During this visit, our Brisbane lap pool builders will:
- Assess your available space and site conditions
- Discuss your swimming goals and preferences
- Examine soil conditions and drainage requirements
- Identify any potential challenges or opportunities
- Provide preliminary design concepts and recommendations
Design Development and Approval
After the initial consultation, our design team develops detailed plans and 3D renderings of your proposed lap pool. We collaborate closely with you to perfect the design, making sure it suits your needs and enhances your property. Once the design is finalised, we manage all council approvals and permit applications.
Excavation and Preparation
We start with accurate excavation using modern equipment to minimise disruption to your property. Our team carefully prepares the site, ensuring proper drainage and soil stabilisation.
Structural Construction
The structural phase involves installing reinforcement steel and pouring concrete using proven techniques that ensure optimal strength and durability. We pay particular attention to proper curing and finishing to create a pool shell that will last for decades.
Systems Installation
Our qualified technicians install all pool systems, including filtration, heating, lighting, and automation. We use only high-quality equipment from trusted manufacturers to ensure reliable operation and energy efficiency.
Finishing and Completion
The final stage involves installing tiles, coping, and any special features, then filling, chemical balancing, and thorough testing of all systems. We supply detailed instructions for ongoing maintenance and care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lap Pool Builders in Brisbane
How much does it cost to build a lap pool in Brisbane?
The cost of building a lap pool in Brisbane typically ranges from $40,000 to $80,000. This depends on factors such as size, materials, the site, and the finishes you select. If you’re considering a fibreglass lap pool, the cost is typically around $38,000 to $45,000, while concrete pools may be slightly more expensive due to their enhanced strength and custom designs. Several factors can influence the price, including the size of the pool, the site’s accessibility, soil type, engineering requirements, and your chosen finishes. At CL Pools, we take pride in providing detailed quotes that clearly explain what’s included and any extra costs, so you always know what to expect as we work together on your project.
How long does it take to build a concrete lap pool in Brisbane?
Building a concrete pool usually takes around 12 weeks from start to finish, but this can vary based on the design and site conditions. The journey includes excavation, setting up forms and steel reinforcement, pouring concrete, installing plumbing and electrical systems, finishing touches, and the final handover along with equipment training. Keep in mind, weather, council approvals, and how accessible the site is can influence the timeline. At CL Pools, we offer clear timeframes right from the initial consultation and make sure to keep you updated every step of the way.
What are the ideal dimensions for a lap pool?
The ideal lap pool needs to be at least 12 metres long to give you enough space to swim comfortably. If you have a smaller area, shorter pools with swim jets can still be a good option. The width usually ranges from 2.5 to 4 metres, depending on whether you’re swimming alone or with others. The depth should be about 1.2 metres at each end, so you can stand comfortably when resting, with the possibility of being a bit deeper in the middle. CL Pools carefully designs lap pools to make the most of your space while ensuring you enjoy a smooth, comfortable swimming experience.
Do I need council approval for a lap pool in Brisbane?
Most pools need a Development Application (DA) or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) to make sure safety barriers, drainage, and environmental standards are met. Brisbane City Council has specific rules, like making sure backwash water goes to stormwater instead of the sewer. CL Pools takes care of all council approvals and permit applications for you, so your lap pool is fully compliant with all regulations and safety standards.
How do I choose the right lap pool builder in Brisbane?
When choosing your pool builder, it’s a good idea to look for QBSA licensing and ask to see insurance certificates for public and product liability, that way, you can feel confident they’re covered. Don’t forget to request references from previous clients to hear firsthand about their experiences. It’s also helpful to consider the builder’s experience, reputation, the quality of materials they use, and whether they comply with local regulations. Getting 2-3 quotes from different builders can give you a better sense of what’s out there, just make sure all the quotes cover the same scope of work. For peace of mind, CL Pools offers thorough references, keeps all licensing and insurance up to date, and provides detailed quotes that clearly explain what’s included and any potential extra costs.
Will a lap pool add value to my Brisbane property?
Research indicates that a pool can increase your home’s value by up to 7%, making it a worthwhile investment for many Brisbane homeowners. The term ‘pool’ is the most searched feature on real estate websites, indicating high demand from potential buyers. The value addition depends on your property’s overall condition, location, and local market conditions. A well-designed lap pool from CL Pools not only enhances your lifestyle but also represents a solid investment in your property’s future value.
What ongoing maintenance is required for a lap pool?
Annual maintenance costs usually range from $2,000 to $3,000, covering regular cleaning and chemical balance checks. It’s important to keep up with water testing, chemical balancing, equipment inspections, cleaning, vacuuming, and seasonal maintenance. But with good water distribution, properly sized pumps and filters, automatic chemical dosing, and robotic cleaning systems, taking care of your pool becomes much easier. CL Pools offers thorough maintenance training and ongoing support to help you keep your lap pool in top shape with less effort on your part.
