How much does a Recreational Swim Pond Cost?

There are multiple factors that influence the price of a swim pond. Design and intended site are important as there are many unique styles and construction methods available. The cost and availability of local materials can vary greatly from region to region as well. Because of these flexible factors, swim ponds range widely in price, anywhere from $85,000 to $250,000.

A basic recreational swim pond is about 25ft overall, includes a 15ft swimming area, all rocked and graveled, features underwater lights, starter water plants, and a built-in biological filtration system.

For around $10-15K extra, you can add a naturalistic waterfall or additional geology around the recreational swimming pond. This price pays for a roughly 20 tons large rock from a quarry and the subsequent materials and labor.

Swim ponds have all the benefits of traditional swimming pools, without all the harsh chemicals that can damage your skin and your hair and kill natural flora and fauna in your yard. If you want to swim in an environmentally-friendly and natural pond so you can relax in the water without stressing about harmful chemicals, this pond is for you.

The Bigger, the Better!

The bigger, more customized a swim pond is, the higher the cost will be. The largest and most elaborate construction projects range anywhere from $95,000 to $250,000.
