This POND YOU swim in!

I'm in Omaha NE visiting a recreational pond that Ed the Pond Professor built along with a few other CACs in 2021. The homeowner was thinking about a getting a pool but then realized that a swim pond would give them enjoyment year round instead of just a few months out of the year.
I had to jump in swim and play with the kids and capture some great underwater footage.
Also in the backyard is a tree house that I relax in waiting for the kids to get home from school.

    I started thinking I need an in ground pool on my 1/2 acre lot, here in Kansas, so I started looking around KZread to see what other people are doing. I ran across Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy and knew right off, this is what I want in my yard, Koi fish and all!

    I think it’s stunning, but if I could do one, I would omit all the boulders in the swimming area. I would leave a wide open swim corridor so I wouldn’t have to worry about bumping into rocks while trying to swim , jump, or splash around. But everything else is perfect!

This pond is gorgeous!! 😍 I’ve just started to dream about something like this. I’d add a slide and maybe koi or native fish like bluegills and minnows. And I love all the frogs! God loves frogs! 😍🐸 Sooo beautiful!!! 💝

    Looks very nice. I have seen a pond liner longevity comparison. Some brands of pond liners last for a reasonable amount of time. Time does go by fast, so what happens when the pond liner is at the failure phase of its life cycle? Does the homeowner have a contractor rip everything out and start over?

    I am planning to build one of these wonders in my new house. What do you do with fallen leaves or generally decaying organic mater at the bottom of the pond? Surely when you go swimming in, it stirs a lot of things up and muddies the water....A local constructor here tells me i need a 6000euro cleaning pump to enjoy a good swim. Thougths?
