I think i will turn to the first idea i had, more expensive, not as sustainable as i wanted it to be ...we will dig and seal with concrete, cover it with flat rocks, tiles like, the rocks will heat the pool when it is sunny i think, we will put a lower bubbler to circulate water on the deep plunge side and a pump to eject the water through the surrounding gravel and plants area, so the only "eco" aspect of the swimming pond will be the solar powered pump and bubbler and the filtering through the regeneration area instead of chemicals added to the water.
This way we get the best from both world, what do you guys think?

I don't get why to do this part. Won't this step make the clay more leaky?
Also what is "agressive" compaction? Regular usage of a sheepfoot-roller for example?
Best luck: satisfaction
