What is a Biological Swim Pond?
A biological swim pond is a living water ecosystem designed for human recreation. Unlike traditional pools that rely on harsh chemicals, these ponds use a natural process - wetland filtration balanced with aquatic plants - to keep the water crystal clear and perfectly safe for swimming. It's the ultimate harmony between architecture and nature.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a biological swim pond stay clean without chemicals?
We use a combination of biological filtration, beneficial bacteria, and aquatic plants to naturally filter the water. This living system breaks down organic matter and consumes nutrients that would otherwise fuel algae, resulting in crystal-clear water that feels like a mountain stream.
Is it safe to swim with plants and bugs?
Absolutely. A well-balanced ecosystem actually keeps pests like mosquitoes away because they prefer stagnant, oxygen-poor water. The biological filter ensures the water is moving and highly oxygenated, making it safe and refreshing for swimming.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Unlike pools that need weekly chemical testing, biological ponds are low-maintenance. Basic care involves emptying the skimmer basket and occasional pruning of aquatic plants. Most of our clients only need professional service once or twice a year.
Can you convert an existing pool into a swim pond?
Yes! We can transform high-maintenance, chemical-filled pools into beautiful, natural biological ponds. Each conversion is unique and depends on the existing structure, but it’s a great way to revitalize a landscape.
