Swimming ponds provide a clean, chemical-free alternative for backyard water features. They can be created from existing ponds that may be murky or unused, transforming them into inviting spaces for family recreation. The conversion process focuses on maintaining the natural aesthetics and ecological function of the pond. Swimming ponds differ from natural swimming pools in their design and functionality, emphasizing biodiversity and natural filtration systems through aquatic plants, enhancing the swimming experience while supporting local wildlife.
It's absolutely possible to convert an existing pond into a swimming pond - in fact, we've done it quite often over the past 20 years. Many clients come to us with old, dark ponds that they no longer use or enjoy, and want to create something swimmable that still feels connected to the landscape.
If you have an existing pond that's murky, unused, or simply not bringing joy to your outdoor space, converting it is an excellent opportunity. Not only will you create something visually stunning, but these types of swimming pools can be used and enjoyed daily in warmer months, by the whole family.
A swimming pond is designed to look and behave like a natural body of water, often with a freeform shape, planted margins, and a strong focus on biodiversity. Filtration is handled by a large regeneration zone filled with aquatic plants and gravel, which promotes a healthy ecosystem.
