Natural swimming ponds are in vogue: summers are getting warmer and garden owners want to refresh themselves without chlorine. Swimming ponds have a plant-free pool and are cleaned via a planted gravel area in the water overflow zone. Landscape designer Mike Meyer shows how to install a swimming pond in a garden: From planning, digging the pit with an excavator, building the walls, to installing the liner, it takes about six weeks - then the blue oasis can be used. Editor's note: We've put together a little bonus video of the finished swimming pond for you here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxidwzjTzYA
