How do I build a natural swimming pool?

by natural....do you mean salt water pools or mineral pools....they all 3 still use chemical/chlorine just at different rates/levels- https://blog.royalswimmingpools.com/chlorine-vs.-saltwater-vs.-mineral-system-pool-sanitizers I know several people with the salt pools and have been in them they are much easier on the skin/less drying all 3 are pretty much same on upkeep.

I have no idea, but if you build one I'll bring some lemonade and pool toys!
