A natural swimming pond is a chemical-free, self-sustaining body of water designed for swimming. It relies on biological filtration through aquatic plants and beneficial bacteria to keep the water clear and clean. Typically, it consists of a swimming zone and a regeneration zone, where plants and gravel beds help filter out impurities.
These ponds do not require chlorine or other chemicals, making them an eco-friendly alternative to traditional swimming pools. They support local wildlife, promote biodiversity, and create a natural aesthetic that blends into the surrounding landscape. With good maintenance, they remain clean and swimmable throughout the year.
