Natural swimming ponds becoming increasingly popular in Dutch gardens

Natural swimming ponds seem to be a trend that is gaining more and more followers in the Netherlands. According to HLN, these ecological swimming pools are becoming a real showpiece in gardens.
Unlike traditional swimming pools, natural swimming ponds use a biological purification system. Plants and micro-organisms ensure clean water, so no chemicals are needed.
It is still unclear how many people in the Netherlands already have a natural swimming pond, but it seems to be a growing trend. According to HLN, it is seen as a sustainable and beautiful addition to the garden.
The swimming ponds do require some maintenance and knowledge of the ecological system. Nevertheless, it seems worth it for many, given the growing popularity.
