Ever dream of escaping the summer heat with a refreshing dip in your own garden haven?
For one client near Bath, that dream became a reality thanks to Turtle Swimming Ponds. This project wasn’t your average pool installation; it involved transforming a large existing space into a private swimming lake, seamlessly integrated with the natural landscape.
A Passion for Open Water Meets Expert Solutions
Our client, a dedicated open-water swimmer, desired a swimming experience that felt freeing and expansive. They possessed the perfect plot of land – a vast area with the potential for a stunning swimming lake. However, its size and access limitations presented a unique challenge. Here at Turtle Swimming Ponds, we thrive on tackling such complexities.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Reshaping and Lining for Functionality
Collaboration was key to this project’s success. We worked hand-in-hand with the client’s grounds staff to reshape sections of the lake, creating dedicated planting platforms. These platforms would later become the foundation for a natural filtration system, utilizing the power of aquatic plants.
The next crucial step involved lining the entire 80m x 25m x 2m lake. We selected high-quality Firestone PondGard 1.02mm EPDM liner, known for its exceptional durability and suitability for large-scale projects like this one. This ensured the longevity and functionality of the swimming lake for years to come.
Years Later: A Flourishing Paradise Revisited
Revisiting the property years after completion was a true joy. The swimming lake had not only held up beautifully, but it had matured into a thriving natural oasis. The client revealed in using their private lake whenever they were in residence, a testament to the success of the project.
