Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I’m with the chickens on this one, ponds, they are dangerous places.:(
I mean apart from the risk of drowning; (can someone point me to the shallow end please because I don’t swim well) you often can’t see what’s under the water. There could be alligators in here. What about snakes? Does anyone check?
I’ll just sit on the edge here with my trouser legs rolled up and maybe dip a couple of toes in the water if it’s not too cold. After all, I am British you know.:p

This Pond is special. Magical, I must say. :frow

We have a filter, but it doesn't get cleaned as often as it should. We've been known to see a python on occasion. The lily pads are fairly safe, when they are dry, if you can float your way out to one. The one next to Sour is often available.
 
I got a dusting too..... LolView attachment 1608113


Whoa! That's a lot of dust! :th

Welcome! :frow As the new guy, you get the pleasure of cleaning the drains for a while.;)

Welcome! As far as I know, no one has drowned in the Pond. It does get a bit sludgy at times when the filter clogs, but it clears up eventually.
