We swim in our pond all the time, I can't imagine not swimming in it. We keep one section of shoreline clear of plants to allow for easier access. We don't have a sandy beach so I throw down a section (about 6' x 8') of outdoor carpeting half way in and out of the water. Keeps our feet from getting muddy. Number 37 on our to do list is build a floating dock.
I vote for the two ponds versus one pond, but both with fish in them!. At the Lusk Lodge 2, I saw how much fun it could be to have two entirely different fishing experiences on one property. To each his own though.
We get nipped at on occasion by fish, at our pond is is usually by YOY LMB and occasionally by smaller BG. It kinda startles you but it's not like they are going to drag you under.
