It would be wonderful to have a swimming pool at home, if only the weather was good enough all year round! Is there a big price difference between an indoor and outdoor pool?

It all depends on what kind of enclosure. If it is just going to br block with a metal roof it would only add a few 1000. If it was going to be finished as, and open to, the rest of the house it would cost considerably more. The humidity caused from the pool is the main reason. The DRY-O-TRON (yes thats really the name) environmental stabilizer (really BIG dehumidifier) will cost about 15k. You need this so that you won't grow mold everywhere in your house. You will also need a good pool heater. Even if you kept your pool room at 100 degrees for 50 years, the water would never get warm. You would be needing the ambient air to transfer its heat to the dirt/concrete and gravel that surrounds 5 sides of your pool, it will never happen. Inflateable domes are a cheap way out but they need fans running constantly to keep their shape and are hot in the summer, cold in the witer and noisy ALL the time. Get one contractor for the pool and another for the room (block) and you can do your project for the cost of a new S.U.V  It sounds like a lot but you WILL get a return on your investment.

An indoor pool is going to be much more expensive to install and maintain. That is why you don't often see them at private homes. A much cheaper option would be to install a pool heater at your outdoor pool so that the water is heated year round.
