Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations First swim in the new pond.

Bender, if you want to have a quick & dirty easier egress route from the pond at the steep area (in case someone falls in or your neighbor contributes more "structure"), you might consider buying a small ladder and securing it in the water to climb out on. After you get a dock, you could move it there if you wanted.

We keep the lower half of an aluminum 16' extension ladder secured to the dock in season for easy access to the water while swimming.
