"the swimming pond" making its round on social media - would you rather this or a pool?

you can put catfish in it and have food come out of it as well

Jude: Is the whole thing sand?
Eric: "Yes, it's all sand. It's 180 degree beach entry, so you can walk in from all sides."

Jude: Will the water stay blue?
Eric: "Yes, it is filtered and chlorinated. There's a special dye that gives it its color. If you didn't have that dye, it would just be crystal clear and you could see all the way to the bottom."

Jude: How deep is this pond?
Eric: "About eight foot deep. It goes from zero to eight feet, but you could go as deep as you wanted."

Jude: Did you build the gazebo and umbrellas too?
Eric: "Oh yeah, we built it all. We built the gazebo with benches and tables. Where the umbrellas are we drove 20 foot pylons."

Jude: Is there any other company you know of that builds these?
Eric: "No, I'm the only person I know that's doing them around here."

Jude: Will it only work in certain types of soil?
Eric: "Where this one was built is near the river and it's all clay. You're gonna get places where you're gonna hit a water table that you'll hit but you can dig it out and clay the bottom of it. There's things you can do to make it work."

Jude: How big is the pond in the pictures?
Eric: "60 x 100 feet"

Jude: "Million dollar question, how much do these run?"
Eric: "I mean, a 20x40 gunite swimming pool is going to cost you 100 grand. Where something like this, you can do a 20X40 (without the gazebo) for $20,000."
