Anthony & Sylvan has been building custom swimming pools and spas in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania for over 60 years. A powerful combination of the talents of the two largest swimming pool builders in America, Anthony Pools and Sylvan Pools, Anthony & Sylvan merged in 1996. Since then, the Company has been the largest and most productive builder of Philadelphia swimming pools and spas in the area, satisfying thousands of new customers every year.

Located throughout the Philadelphia, PA region, New Jersey and Delaware with over 100 employees, ten sales offices, and eight service centers to provide you with first-class service, Anthony & Sylvan Pools is “Where America Swims”.   You won’t find another pool builder that can provide the vast experience of our talent base or the strength of our reputation.  Nor will you find the comprehensive list of services that we provide, including new swimming pool and spa installation, existing pool renovations, regular pool service, seasonal maintenance services, and numerous retail store locations in the greater Philadelphia area – all from one company you know you can count on.

We've built more swimming pools in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas than any other local pool builder. With over 40,000 pools built in the last 60 years in this area alone, our reputation speaks volumes about the quality and customer service our customers have come to expect from us. Families just like yours trust us to create their backyard dream, whether it’s a simple lap pool for exercising in or an elaborately designed oasis for entertaining family and friends.

Our pool designs can range from rectangular or kidney-shaped to almost any type of free-form pool you can imagine. We build both large and small pools.  Some are simple while others are very ornate.  While pool and spa combinations, stone decks and coping, water features, heaters, automatic cleaners, and pebble finishes are very popular among our customers, we will create your pool with your specific dreams in mind.  Anthony & Sylvan’s experience in designing pools combined with your backyard vision will result in a pool that will change the way you and your family experience summer and provide you with a beautiful landscape all year long.

No matter what your vision is, we can help you create the perfect area to fit your backyard location and size. The completion time is dependent upon the size and extent of your project, and many of our pools are completed within 35 to 50 days from excavation.  For others we offer a very unique solution, which starts your pool in the fall and completes it early in the spring, allowing you to spread out the payments and still be the first with your new pool when you’re ready to dive in.  And, this 50/50 offer is just one of our unique offers designed to make the pool building process fit your needs.
