Swimming ponds & natural pools: How to transform your outdoor space
Out of the house, across the lawn and into the swimming pond. Immerse yourself; swim a few strokes in the clear water. The body floats, the head is free. Surrounded perhaps by reeds, a few water plants and the jetty you are in the middle of nature.

What are the benefits of a natural pool?
It can aid your wellbeing
Firstly, swimming and movement in water release endorphins. Experience and enjoy the freedom that a swimming pond in your own garden gives you.
You can swim all year round
You can enjoy your own swim pond in autumn and winter, for example after a sauna session or for a steam bath in the snow.
It’s easy to maintain
Compared to chlorinated swimming pools, natural pool require much less maintenance.
The water is clean, clear and healthy
Swimming in a swim pond is just as safe in terms of hygiene and cleanliness as swimming in a chlorinated pool.
There are endless design ideas
Whether a natural pool, natural-looking swim pond or a combination according to your own ideas – the scope for your design with Oase is boundless.
Tip: When you’re figuring out the size of your pool, calculate about 1.5 meters per swim stroke, plus 2 meters final distance. And it will need to be at least 1.35 meters deep.
Find your perfect natural swimming pool
Individual solutions for every desire.
Everyone has a different idea for the swim pond of their dreams. Some prefer to swim in straight lanes, others love free movement in as natural an environment as possible. This makes it all the more important to get the right advice with experience and expertise. Together with our partners we make your wishes come true.
Pure nature, no technology
These swim ponds use pure nature, such as plants and pond creatures, to keep the water in top condition. There’s no complex technology in sight.
In spring there may be a slight, natural green cloudiness. You may also see some silt on the floor, which should underline the natural ambience.
Your swim pond will also be a paradise for the local fauna. In addition to the swimming area, you should also plan half of it as a regeneration area. This type of natural pool is therefore usually the largest kind.
Nature plus technology
This type of swim pond has just a little technology for lightly circulating the water.
The natural water treatment is technically supported by a light, permanent circulation and appropriate filters. As a result the pond water is visibly clearer. As a rule of thumb, you should plan about one third of the swimming area for the regeneration area.
Fully equipped natural pools
Of course, swimmers who prefer traditional lanes, crystal-clear water and regularly cleaned pool edges also get their money's worth. The combination of multi-stage, powerful pumps and filters including a swim pond robot for cleaning ensures complete and reliable maintenance.
Thanks to technical support, this variant requires no additional regeneration area. This makes the natural pool a space-saving solution. From about 30 to 40 square metres you can already enjoy a few swimming laps.
