Natural Swimming Pools are made mostly from natural materials, utilize plants to balance their ecosystem, and they are created to mimic the look of a natural body of water, although they also have many of the same amenities as a traditional pool.

WNY fall is officially here, and winter is right around the corner! 🍂❄️

Wondering what happens to a chemical-free, natural swimming pool when the snow flies? The good news: natural pools are built to handle the elements. In fact, with the right winterization steps, your pool’s ecosystem safely hibernates until next summer—and under the right conditions, some pools can even be converted into your very own backyard ice rink! ⛸️✨

Let’s break down how to prep your natural pool for the cold months ahead. 👇

While winter weather is outside, backyard planning happens inside. Off-season downtime is the ideal window to map out a custom natural swimming pool so you’re ready to break ground come spring. 

Here are 5 key customization areas to research and sketch out now: 

1️⃣ Location: Balance sun exposure (avoiding excess algae growth) with enough space for both your swim zone and plant-filtration area.

2️⃣ Shape: Choose a classic or custom layout while planning out optimal spots for filters and power sources.

3️⃣ Linings: Evaluate your soil type early to decide between natural bentonite clay or flexible, UV-protected EPDM liners.

4️⃣ Plant Life: Plan a balanced ecosystem of floating, emergent, and oxygenating underwater plants suited to your local climate.

5️⃣ Bonus Features: Brainstorm the finishing touches—like a natural waterfall, underwater benches, or integrated stone patios. Use the quiet months this season to dream up your layout!

Let nature flourish all-year round with your natural pool. Yes, natural pools need to be winterized, but not in the same way you would a traditional swimming pool. The goal of a natural swimming pool ecosystem is about preparing and protecting the system, rather than shutting everything down.

Most pools spend 6 months under a tarp. Ours spend winter as private ice rinks. ⛸️

A BioNova® Living Pool isn’t a seasonal luxury—it’s a self-sustaining asset built right into your estate’s natural landscape.

The 4-Season Shift:
💧 Spring/Summer: 100% chemical-free swimming powered by natural wetland regeneration zones.
❄️ Autumn/Winter: A tranquil landscape feature, private ice rink, or cold plunge access.

The Planning Mindset: High-spec aquatic ecosystems require 3 to 6 months for engineering, CAD layout, and permitting. Thinking ahead during the quiet winter months is how the most seamless spring groundbreaks happen.

Want to swim by June? The groundwork starts in October. 🚜✨

Natural living pools rely on plants and biology instead of chemicals—and that means proper planning is key. Right now is the time to map out location, drainage, and that sweet spot of 6–8 hours of daily sunlight for the biological plant zone.

We work with both private homeowners and commercial developers to site, design, and prepare natural pools for spring installation.

Did you know that we offer two types of natural living pools? BioSwimPonds and BioPools give you options when it comes to the look and functionality of your pool. Here’s the main difference:

BioSwimPond - some would describe this as the more “natural” looking natural living pool. Aquatic plants and microorganisms are integrated in the main water area or can be detached.

BioPool - this feels more like a traditional swimming pool with a biological filter system that uses biofilm to clean water and control algae. This option can also be designed with additional aquatic plants and vegetation for aesthetic or filtration purposes or you could choose a more traditional pool design.

A common question homeowners ask is: “Can’t I just convert my existing farm or ornamental pond into a Natural Living Pool?”

While it’s tempting, converting a standard pond into a swimming pool is rarely practical—or even possible. Here’s why:

#1 Same Work (or Worse) Than Starting Fresh
#2 Regulatory & Environmental Hurdles

Building a Natural Swimming Pool on fresh ground ensures structural stability, optimal filtration design, and hassle-free permitting. Learn more on how to start this process properly from the beginning. Call for your natural pool consultation! 🌊

Thinking about converting an existing pond into a natural pool? 🌱 THINK AGAIN

It sounds like a shortcut, but retrofitting an unmanaged pond usually leads to major structural issues, high groundwater risks, and unexpected dredging costs.

To get clear, chemical-free water -without mud at the bottom, starting fresh with engineered BioNova® bio-filtration is the move. 💧

Thinking about turning an existing pond into a chemical-free swimming paradise? While it sounds like a shortcut, converting a standard pond into a Natural Swimming Pool is rarely practical—and can often cost more labor, time, and stress than starting fresh.

From hydrostatic ground pressure to complex environmental permits and muck removal, retrofitting an existing body of water comes with major hurdles.

We know you want to be more conscious about how you swim and entertain guests! Living pools use the same systems found in nature to purify water and create a balanced self-contained ecosystem. This means no harsh chemicals! The water is treated through the metabolic processes of aquatic plants and microorganisms. Typically, natural pools have a designated planted zone, so you are never required to swim amongst the reeds.
