Welcome to Pond Boss, Bruce5! Sounds like a really interesting pond you've got. I agree with esshup's concerns about that sort of depth and whether or not someone like your kids would be able to easily get out in the event of accidentally falling in. Just something to consider from a pure safety standpoint and certainly not a criticism at all. If the sides are steep, you might want to consider adding some sort of structure to assist "swimmers" in exiting, maybe something as simple as a ladder or even a rope. Again, just throwing out some ideas.

Do you have any pictures of your pond that you could post? It sounds like a really cool project and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to see how it looks.

Again, welcome! Stick around and join in the learning and fun!
