Swimming Pond?

[Olee]

I think my project next year may be an addition to my existing pond.....a 40x30 swimming pond.:banana: Has anyone here tried such an undertaking? I probably will not get past the county and the HOA, but I have started researching them, seems they are big in Europe.....

way back in the posts there was some one else that wanted to swim with the fish.
Look back a few years
i wish i wish i wish i was a fish

A pond is a much smarter investment than a swimming pool. I have had both.

 

[Olee]

you mean a swimming pond is a smarter investment?

 

[DrDave]

That works for me.

I figure with my connections I could get one done for 10k. Compare that to 80-100k for a pool in my area......

I have to swim in my pond to do some of the maintenance (it's not all that wide, but it's deep). It grosses my dh out, but I figure "meh, no different than swimming in the lake"

I also sit on the ledge and dangle my feet in while I read, feed the fish, whatever - nice way to cool off and relax

I did a search when you brought up this topic and hit an interesting link. I really like the idea, it makes perfect sense.

Now, if I ever win the lotto, I think I may have to build myself a swimming pond...
