The natural swimming pool, also called a swimming pond, or an atypical pool, gives you an environmentally friendly place to swim. These pools evolve with their biodiversity. Let’s focus on the natural swimming pool and what it entails.
Let’s look first at what defines a swimming pool.
According to the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES), a swimming pool is an enclosed, filtered and disinfected water system.
Consequently, because the natural pool is not treated, it cannot officially be called a ‘swimming pool’. A natural pool could be called a swimming pond or an atypical pool. It is entirely ecological and organic because the pool water is filtered by aquatic plants and micro-organisms. The natural pool uses the self-filtering capacity of aquatic ecosystems to maintain water quality without the need for chemical products.
Ingenious, isn’t it?
Nevertheless, maintaining a natural pool can prove quite complex. You need to make sure you select the right plants. You’ll also need to wait for the ecosystem to get up and running before you can take a swim or you risk disrupting its development.
In addition, you need to consider that natural swimming ponds may cause public health issues. The ecosystem present in this type of pool supports parasites and bacteria in the water that can transmit diseases to swimmers.
Also, the water temperature must not rise above 24°C. In order to ensure that the plants in the pool remain healthy, you need to stabilise the water temperature. And be warned: generally speaking, a comfortable water temperature is 28°C.
In addition, to ensure the proper functioning of algae and other aquatic plants, the pool needs to have an average depth of 1.7m. So you can forget about playing in the pool with the children!
