Natural Swimming Pools?

There was something I saw on the internet that people and small companies are starting to built new swimming pools called Natural Swimming Pools where it is a eco cool swimming pool that can look like a normal cement lined swimming pool but that it has a side pool linked up to it called a recharge area with plants and gravel that allows the water to be pumped around the pool and flow though this thing to keep it clean. The recharge areas and the natural swimming pools I've heard that they can even hold living fish in them so this is kind of made me wounder about opening up the idea or seeing if the idea can hold water on planning out a natural swimming pool that would be able to hold six to ten full grown Goldfish or some bluegills and catfish maybe?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_pool

Such as if these Natural swimming pools could hold fish or even a small number of fish would it be possible to build one of these things with two or three large thick fish tank windows embeded on the side of it to look at the fish swimming in it and then when you want to have a party or go swimming you could eather round up the fish in it and move them to a smaller fish only tank though a small gate while you use the natural swimming pool for a event or if there not that many people around you could go in to it with the fish still swimming around to watch them up close.

This idea might allow someone who likes swimming pools but only plans to use it once a week or once every two weeks but at the same time wants a very large fish tank to look at from their living room. Such as 90% of a natural swimming pool would most likely sit there holding water so during that time it could possibly function as a giant fish tank with large viewing windows to watch the fish swimming around from your living room.

umm where I come from we call this a pond, that's just me though. take a look at Tuggards pool/pond thread in the outdoor pond forum. seems to work quite well for him.
