Organic Swimming Ponds
Swimming Ponds, built for you and nature
Swim with nature in pure living water, no chlorine, no chemicals, just you and nature working together
How do these pools work?
It's pretty simple really, creating a filter by using sands, gravels and plants that water is then drawn through using air stones and letting nature do the rest. By creating an eco system; daphnia move in, along with the water beetles, dragon fly larvae, newts and a whole array of other organisms and micro organisms which keep the pool clean and clear. By keeping the nutrients in the water low, stops algae bloom and provides you with a clean clear swimming
Why an organic pool?
Organic pools are not just a recreational area, they are an ever evolving eco system and landscape abundant with wildlife. As the seasons change so does your pool, you'll find yourself lost in the ever changing beauty of these pools whether its the sun glistening off the ripping water or dragon fly's darting around or a cooling swim in the hot summer days and if you're brave a cold winter plunge.
Enjoy being able to swim in chlorine and chemical free water that won't sting your eyes and dry out skin.
Unlike conventional pools, these pools are low maintenance and a lot cheaper to run as your not running large pumps or heaters. The pools we install run off of a 60 watt air compressor
Most importantly, you're creating an eco system, a body of water that's healthy and alive for you and your family to enjoy

Frequently Asked Questions About Natural Swimming Pools
Do natural swimming pools need planning permission in the UK?
In most cases, building a natural swimming pool or swimming pond falls under Permitted Development, meaning you will not need formal planning permission. However, if your property is a listed building, sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), or if the excavation involves moving massive amounts of soil near boundaries, rules can vary. We always assess your site's layout during our initial consultation to ensure complete compliance
How much does a natural swimming pool cost in the UK?
The investment for a bespoke living pool or natural swimming pond typically starts from around £20,000 to £80,000, depending heavily on the size, design complexity. Because KP Groundworks manages the entire excavation, earthmoving, and drainage and install in-house, we drastically reduce subcontracting markups, saving you money on the project.
Can you do a chlorine pool to natural pool conversion
Yes. Traditional, chemical-heavy pools can be successfully converted into eco-friendly swimming pools. The process involves removing the chlorine systems, re-engineering the plumbing, and constructing a dedicated aquatic plant filtration zone (regeneration zone) alongside the swimming area. Our groundworks team can handle the structural modification of your existing pool shell and surrounding landscaping.
