Choose swim ponds as a more natural alternative to swimming pools.
If you enjoy swimming and have considered adding a swimming pool to your backyard but would like something more natural and unique, you might consider swim ponds instead. If you have a property in Elizabethton, Tennessee, we at New Hope Aquascapes can install the perfect swim pond in your backyard.
Swim ponds are similar to swimming pools in the way that you can safely and comfortably swim in them. They are designed to resemble a body of water with an irregular shape, surrounding rocks, and vegetation. They are great for swimming and relaxation without all the maintenance requirements of a typical swimming pool. You don’t have to worry about pool chemicals or much maintenance outside of trimming back the vegetation as needed and pulling out the fallen leaves. You will also notice that they will be a great addition for the environment of your yard.
If you choose swim ponds over swimming pools for your property, we can design a pond that will be just right for your needs and preferences. We can fit it to the size and shape of your property and match the design and vegetation parts to your surrounding landscape. We’re a Master Certified Aquascape Contractor, so you can trust us to deliver excellent results for your new pond and property. We can also take the time to explain everything you need to know about your new swim pond, including maintenance requirements, warning signs of damage, and other important information.

Hidden
How are swim ponds different from swimming pools?
Unlike a pool, a swim pond does not rely on harsh chemicals or chlorine to stay clean and fresh. Instead, swim ponds use natural filtration systems and aquatic plants to create a safe, eco-friendly swimming environment.
Will the water in my swim pond look more like a lake or like a pool?
When properly maintained and balanced, the water should be crystal clear. While it will have a more natural appearance than a pool, it will not have the murkiness of a normal pond or lake.
Do swim ponds work well in small backyards?
We can design swim ponds around all kinds of spaces, and our skilled team can help you assess whether your small backyard is a good fit for this type of water feature. We can custom-design your pond, whether you’re looking for a small, plunge-style design or a larger recreational one.
How long does it take to build a swim pond?
The specific timeline will depend on your design complexity and size, but most swim ponds can be completed within a few weeks of breaking ground.
Do swim ponds attract mosquitoes?
Not when they are properly maintained. This is because the water is filtered and circulated, so mosquitoes can’t successfully breed in them.
