We held our first swimming pond Open Day in July 2011, which was a great success, and we hope to hold many more in future. There are three events planned for 2012 in Buckinghamshire (26th May), Suffolk (23rd June) and Bedfordshire (21st July). If you would like to attend please
contact us.
An open day gives you the chance to see for yourself a swimming pond we have built, to talk to us and to the owners about it, and of course to swim in it. We are finding this is an excellent way for people to cross that bridge between a swimming pond being a nice idea in their mind to actually seeing and experiencing what it is really like.
Please see photos below of the July Open Day in 2011, plus photos of another swimming pond I visited the following day where the owners were holding a garden party around the pond. I have also added comments of different people who came on both days.

"The swimming pond was as good as the photos and fitted very well with the landscape. It was what I expected, but you learn a lot more being near/in one than just seeing photos, so it helped me move on the decision making process."

"Just a quick note to say thank you very much for such an inspiring, informative and enjoyable open day yesterday. We’ve been increasingly ‘sold’ on the idea of a swimming pond, but the final confirmation could only come with experiencing one in person, and speaking to you, your staff and also Jon and Rosy. Throughout the day, we gained a superb impression of Gartenart."
