I Made a Tiny Natural Swimming Pool - Here's How

I made this pool over ten years ago. This film is a revisits the process in a more palatable form and reflects on the plants and animals that have arrived in that time.

Towards the end I felt like I was watching a National Geographic Documentary.

This is an excellent combination of passion & selflessness as it was not only created for the family but also for wildlife to thrive. There should be more pools like this made around the world.

The man didn't just make a swimming pool, he made an ecosystem

The children won't realise how fantastically lucky they are until they are older, but we can enjoy this brilliant piece of nature from now. Thanks for sharing.🎉

“Despite being incredulous about the project, my friend Barry agreed to help.” The best definition of friendship I’ve seen in a while.

A man who shows his love of family by building stuff that makes their and the whole world a better place. My father was one of these men. And my mother loved to work shoulder to shoulder with him.

This could've easily be a 1 hour long video but instead was compiled into a 6 min short video. Great work Sir!

I have spent 14 years digging wildlife ponds which despite using spirit levels never ever seems to work out! Thanks to this I am going to start again and redo the pond following this technique.

At first I thought it would be literally just a simple dug out dirt pool.

Then all of a sudden it looks like the construction of some major project. 😅

Amazing.

Kudos to Barry. Being a true supportive friend ❤️

WOW what a dad not just for your kids but for the community & ecosystem. Some dads don’t even return texts lol or even around in their children’s lives. Honestly wish it was longer, you left us wanting more, at least 15mins would’ve been nice

Amazing pond. Those kids are lucky to have such great men in their lives. I wish I had a pond :)

Can we just give a standing ovation for this incredible hard-working This man put both for the children's and the ecosystem.🙏👊

The kids has the most important job of them all, jumping and swimming and having fun in the pool.

Omg thank you that brings me back 50 years ago my dad dug a hole and filled it with water for my siblings and myself.

What an outstanding masterpiece this whole video is, blended with hilarious humor, should be shown in every school. And thanks for not spoiling it with annoying music, it is simply pure and beautiful. And most of all: you brought a bit of Eden back to Earth! Chapeaux, Sir! 🙏

My goodness, what an extraordinary project! Thank you so so much for sharing, I feel more alive for having seen it. These children are so fortunate to be surrounded by such fantastic adults 🥰

Amazing little documentary! I really, really enjoyed that, especially the cinematography and your humorous yet relaxing narration. And the result, WOW! Thanks for making a little piece of the world all the better for your presence, that pond ecosystem looks beautiful.

[Maggioretom]

This is not a swimming pool, it's a little miracle of nature! 🙏

Every community needs its own version of this.

This is absolutely amazing! What a beautiful example of creating an environment where humans and natural elements coexist! And this could be in any backyard. Thanks for sharing.
