Can a pool be built for exercise?

Yes, a pool can be built specifically for exercise purposes. These types of pools are commonly referred to as exercise pools, lap pools, or swim spas. They are typically narrower and longer than traditional recreational pools, allowing for a continuous swimming experience without needing to turn around frequently. These pools are designed to facilitate various exercises, including lap swimming, water aerobics, and resistance training. They often contain features such as adjustable swim currents, jets for resistance, and built-in exercise equipment.
