Stone-edged natural swimming pool with clear turquoise water, stepping stones, ferns, birches, and hydrangeas

Maine & New England

A pool that belongs to the landscape.

Natural swimming pools and ponds shaped for clear water, long summer days, and the character of your land.

Concept renderings illustrate the intended design character; they are not completed Swim Wild projects.

Swim differently

More garden. Less backyard appliance.

A natural swimming pool pairs a dedicated swimming area with a living edge and water-care system designed around the site. The result feels at home outdoors—not dropped on top of it.

What we build

Water shaped around the way you live.

Every project responds to its setting, from compact garden pools to expansive swimming ponds.

01

Natural swimming pools

A defined swim zone with an architectural or softly planted character, integrated into the surrounding landscape.

02

Swimming ponds

A more organic expression for rural and woodland settings—generous water, natural edges, and room for habitat.

03

Pond transformations

A thoughtful reworking of an existing water feature when the site, structure, and water conditions make it a good candidate.

From first walk to first swim

Begin with the land.

The best natural water looks inevitable. We start by understanding your property, your ambitions, and the way the space should feel through the seasons.

  1. 1Share the ideaSend the location, a few photos, and what you want the water to make possible.
  2. 2Walk the siteWe look at access, grade, sun, existing landscape, and the best relationship between house and water.
  3. 3Shape the projectThe concept, construction path, and next steps come into focus around your specific property.

Swimming ponds & transformations

Water with a wilder edge.

For rural and woodland properties, an organic form can settle naturally into the trees, stone, and existing contours. Where conditions allow, an established pond may also become the starting point for a more immersive place to swim.

The Swim Wild point of view

Built for immersion, not interruption.

Water first

A place to swim, float, cool off, and gather—the experience of the water leads every decision.

Site-led design

Topography, views, existing trees, and movement through the property all help determine the right form.

New England character

Stone, planting, and proportions chosen to feel grounded in Maine and the wider New England landscape.
