Towards the end I felt like I was watching a National Geographic Documentary. This is an excellent combination of passion & selflessness as it was not only created for the family but also for wildlife to thrive. There should be more pools like this made around the world.

Theres a company in California that builds these pools but its extremely expensive. Maybe if it didn't cost so much more ppl would be inclined to get them

At first I thought it would be literally just a simple dug out dirt pool. Then all of a sudden it looks like the construction of some major project. 😅 Amazing.

The difference between a modern swimming pool and this absolute GEM is mind-blowing - the former being a significant net-negative to the environment as well as being a very expensive make-work project (bought a house with a pool, glad I’m not there anymore )

My goodness, what an extraordinary project! Thank you so so much for sharing, I feel more alive for having seen it. These children are so fortunate to be surrounded by such fantastic adults 🥰

WOW what a dad not just for your kids but for the community & ecosystem. Some dads don’t even return texts lol or even around in their children’s lives. Honestly wish it was longer, you left us wanting more, at least 15mins would’ve been nice

Worse are some buys milk or go to prison and they are very common among certain people.

The kids has the most important job of them all, jumping and swimming and having fun in the pool.

I would love something like this with some kind of filter or something that kept the water moving and clean to prevent mosquito larva and just that nasty deadly bacteria you hear about from swimming in lakes. But the natural look and feel of it is so amazing.

This is amazing!!! Thank you for being considerate of nature and for making this a short video that people can watch

Wow! It came to be beyond perfection! Enjoyed watching. And the ecosystem! Words cannot express it! Beautiful.

I love natural pools - but here in OZ it'd be about 2 weeks before there was half a dozen tiger snakes and a couple of king browns in residence.

Where there’s water, there’s mosquitoes! Get some bat houses and you’re all set! 👍🏼😁 The sound of the frogs would lull me to sleep every night! 😴

Love the way you articulate all your words. You could become a storyteller. Love the vocabulary he was taught well in school

That is freaking mad. Its so beautiful. But usually its like a pond inly for wildlife and /or fish, OR kids to dip in. This is both. Its too lovely. I feel like I might be able to do this. Thank you

Absolutely awesome. Looks natural and refreshing. Great job.

They should adapt this on a bigger scale for town park. Great idea and application for ecosystem and families! Wonderful job mister!

Looks so good- just hope that fence is secure. Living in Australia where there are so many pools - unfortunately many drownings too each year. But I think it’s fabulous and hope you have many years of fun!

Oh my gosh, I can not tell you how much I love this!! Such hard work you all put in. A fabulous job, enjoy! 💓

That established nicely! Fresh water management can be a real challenge with plants involved, looks like you have done a very good job.

Irrigation has dried out most of the wetlands in many countries and it's impossible to reverse it in most places as it is used as farmlands so only way to bring back wetland species is to create many ponds to keep up their life needs. Even these ponds aren't natural these are great deal for natural wetland species especially ponds without fish.
