Wild Swimming

See whether a natural swimming pool is right for you

Our Natural Swimming Pool Open Days are a great opportunity to learn more about natural swimming pools, have a swim and ask all your questions.

Come and chat to our natural pool experts about your ideas and pool project and learn about Biotop’s biological filtration system and the latest water balancing technology.

If you want to see what it's like to swim in naturally filtered chemical-free water, bring your swimming costume and a towel with you.

Teas, delicious home baked cakes and artisan coffee served all day.

Welcome

Ellicar Natural Swimming Pool

Explore 5-acres of naturalistic gardens

The swimming zone and regeneration areas are separated by low submerged walls leaving you plenty of space to enjoy clear, hygienic, living water without the need for chemicals.

The water appears effortlessly natural by a carefully planned hydraulic system hard at work below the surface circulating the water through biological and mineral filters, ensuring it’s hygienic and fit for swimming all year round.

The result is a balanced pool, with water that feels like a mountain lake close to its source: soft, sparkling and with an energy that’s both rejuvenating and relaxing. And just like your garden, natural pools change with the seasons, giving you a still, reflective surface in winter which is where they get their name, sky mirrors.

Family Business

A family business built on values

Fifteen years ago, my husband Will and I trained as water specialists with natural pool pioneer Biotop. We constructed our first natural swimming pool in our garden and set up our company, Ellicar, to design and build natural pools for private homes and public spaces. 

Today we’re renowned for the design and installation of some of the world's most beautiful natural swimming pools. Now a dynamic family business, having been joined by our two sons, George and Chester, we live and breathe pools and gardens.

Now a dynamic family business, having been joined by our two sons, George and Chester, we live and breathe pools and gardens. After building natural pools for our clients all week, we come together at weekends around our own natural pool here at Ellicar and enjoy spending time as a family in and around the water.

Our extended team shares our values, and everyone in it has been chosen as much for their love of wild swimming, wildlife or ecology as their skills and expertise. 

Meet Ellicar’s handpicked, expert team…
