Swimming in Natural Ponds

A swimming pond is a cross between a swimming pool and a natural pond. Whereas swimming pools are often artificial in appearance and are cleaned with chemicals, swimming ponds are in harmony with the rest of your garden and are cleaned naturally.

You can make swimming ponds shallow or deep, they have no special planning or building requirements but they all have a swimming area and a regeneration area. The size of the regeneration area is determined by the ponds usage and whether the water is filtered naturally or using pumped water.

Swimming ponds are a complex but natural system. By careful planning, a natural biological balance of water, plant and animal life can be achieved.

Naturally, planning and building a swimming pond that meets your personal needs requires specialist knowledge and some experience. The finished pond will be a balance between what you require and what we can provide. These information sheets give a brief overview of what is possible so you can plan your own, unique swimming pond.
