Nebraska is on a distinguished road
It's ironic that you posted this because my Wife and I were talking about our newly developed dislike for pools after a recent stay at a hotel. This new disdain has developed recently since my family and I purchased a large boat within the last year and have been doing a lot of boating, skiing, tubing, swimming, and fishing during the spring, summer, and fall. The recent pool seemed boring and the chlorine was almost unbearable.

Of course in our area we have no gators....although the muskie, walleye, pike, and snapping turtles we've seen will freak you out.

Nothing's better than a swim in a lake with the family on a hot day.

I would have to agree with others that the market would be limited because of the factors of space, bugs, plants, mud, and dirt. Most are going to prefer that sterile environment that they feel and believe a pool affords. (Nothing like swimming in public pools that really amount to nothing more than a chlorinated septic tank. I won't even touch upon how toxic chlorine can be from dermal exposure and especially when injested.)
