Natural Swimming Pool

[Aaron S]

Just wondering if anyone has thought about adding a natural swimming pool to match your ponds

Interesting concept to say the least.

I did a lot of reading on natural swimming pools when I was putting my pond in. From what I've read, they are very similar to a pond with plants only, the only visible difference I could see was it looks like the incorporate the bog area into the pond directly rather than have it separate. They seem to be much more popular in the UK than here in the states.
The only reason I decided to go with garden pond instead of swimming hole was the water gets too dang hot here in the summer. I may still float around in it next year though. Heehee
