The cost of building a 50m pool is approximately 25% more than building a 25m pool; but provides three times the flexibility and twice as much revenue generating pool space. The operating costs of a 50m pool (as described by Asbell Management’s review of fifty-two 50m pools across Canada) are roughly $350,000 to $500,000 per year. On average, a 50m pool in the Lower Mainland operates for about $1 to $1.2 million. A 10-lane, 25m pool will cost between $1 and $1.5 million (based on the operating costs of the only two pools of this size in Canada).
