swimming pond

Outdoor bathing water

A swimming pond is a body of water designed for swimming that uses natural filtration—typically plants and gravel beds—instead of chemicals like chlorine.

Unlike conventional pools, swimming ponds incorporate a regeneration zone where aquatic plants clean the water, creating something between a natural pond and a pool: They converted their backyard into a swimming pond surrounded by water lilies.
