Any suggestions (or pictures) for easy access into a newly excavated part of my recent pond expansion? I'm trying to incorporate a small swimming hole for the nieces and nephews but the clay is very slippery and the slope of the pond after a couple of feet gets pretty steep.

I'm thinking of some type of stairway that goes into the water with a landing at the bottom (3-4 ft deep) that they can be comfortable on before getting into the deep water. Has anyone else done something like this?
Thanks.
