The owner of this swimming pond writes:  

"Living in a rural location, it is a real joy to have a natural swimming pond that enhances the garden and countryside views so well. We’d hoped that the swimming pond would be a feature of the landscape without jarring visually with a traditional tiled pool and bright blue chlorinated water and we couldn’t be happier.

"The design integrates seamlessly with our new garden aesthetic and we particularly love the stepping stones that cross the pond dividing the main pool from the filtration bed. They give a link between the different garden levels and also provide a place to immerse yourself in the pond and wildlife; a perfect place to watch the dragonflies hovering over the rocks and reeds and spot new wildlife additions.

"The swimming experience is also pretty magical. The water feels very light and silky and although on a smaller scale the feeling is of a fresh lake. It just puts a smile on your face to swim in healthy water without chlorine surrounded by nature. It’s very emotive and life enhancing."
