Natural Pools How to build your own Natural Pool Organic Pools are Natural Swimming Pools or Swimming Ponds that work with nature to provide hygienic water for swimming.

Plants and animals condition the water so there is no need for chlorine or other pesticides. These pools are good for people and wildlife. I built my first Natural Swimming Pool, not because I like a challenge, indeed I'd prefer to be lazing by the side of a pool rather than digging it, but because it was the only way I could afford to have one. Over the past five years, building my own pools and meeting experts on Natural Swimming Pools, I have re-thought the processes needed to create hygienic swimming water and I have come up with a system completely geared to fellow DIY pond builders. I try to minimise resources, incorporating reclaimed materials and I even make filters from reused household objects and domestic plumbing. In addition, my pools use a fraction of the electrical energy most Natural Swimming Pools require to maintain them. All of this is achieved without compromising healthy water. The water was recently tested and shown to be of drinking water quality. And of course, these pools have been designed to benefit wildlife - they are a nature reserve you can swim in! I hope by showing you how I've done it, you will be inspired to start digging for yourself.

What is the sound of a pond?

The disadvantages of an organic pool are often overlooked by the innumerable benefits. I hope to redress that imbalance with a reasoned argument that making your own pool is likely to bring you across one big disadvantage, listening to me on Wednesday 23rd September.

I have discovered creatures under the jetty and they are most welcome.

After 14 years l’m re-vamping the plunge pool and sharing my mistakes. I am in the process of making a longer film on some of the surprises this pond archeology has revealed.

Making your own pool means you can wild swim in pollution free water without being at the mercy of water companies. It also reminds us what our rivers and waterways used to be generations ago before our baselines were shifted by our more recent experience of polluted rivers. We should expect clean water rich in wildlife again.
