We’ve created over 360,000 pools and spas over the last 60 years
for some really incredible people, and each of their reasons
for getting a pool was as unique as they are. Many of them have shared
their experiences with us, and we hope their stories will inspire you to get
the pool of your dreams for your own reasons.
Bill Alan’s Alternative to Happy Hour “We used to go to the watering hole after work,
spend a lot, and not feel any more relaxed. Now we come home, slip into tee shirts
and shorts and hang out by the pool. That, my friend, is relaxing!”
B.A. – Spring, TX
Troop 23’s Club House “The girls have taken over the pool and use
it as their space. It gets them out of the house, away from the TV set, and it’s
great physical exercise. They think it’s just cool, and I can keep a watchful
eye on them.”
L.S. – Las Vegas, NV
Barbara Levi’s Chill Pill “In my job, I get so stressed out, but when
I put some Jimmy Buffet on the stereo and hop into my new spa, the stress is gone
in minutes. Thanks for helping me decide to add it on!”
B.L. – Doylestown, PA
Curtis Fulton’s Time Out “Our boy is one wound-up guy, and every now
and then we have to slow him down. TV, Video Games, Computers… He starts
flying around and not listening. Too much stimulus. So I send him out to the pool
to chill out. It works. Just ask his sister!”
B.F. – Las Vegas, NV
Swimming 101 “My children are just getting to the age that
they can learn to swim. With our new pool, now they can learn in private and
on our schedule, not just when the instructors are available and saving our
family the road trip. ”
S.L. – Cape Arthur, MD
The Smith’s Water Park “We used to take all our kids to the water park,
but it was expensive and the crowds were horrible. All the kids in the neighborhood
come to our backyard water park now. We have become very popular in our neighborhood.”
J.S. – Dallas, TX
The Palmer’s Midnight Rendezvous “We spend less time sitting across from each
other watching TV. Our pool gives us a chance to talk. We like to come out late,
put the pool light to blue and spend real quality time with each other. There’s
no fighting over the remote. And, it has definitely helped our love life.”
E.P. – Ft.Myers, FL
It’s What Makes Tommy Smith Cool “Our son Tommy loves to be the center of
attention. He’s at his peak when he’s at home. But then it’s
a mad house. After we put our Anthony & Sylvan pool in, it became his stage.
There’s room for 20 or more kids, and I can see them right out my kitchen
window. He is such a ham.”
S.S. – Chantilly, VA
Robin Weidemann’s Rejuvenation Station “As an attorney, my week is full-on, every
hour of every work day. I wake up Saturday morning and get my book and my floating
chair, and start re-charging the batteries. I can’t tell you how great it
is to walk out the door and see a paradise right before your eyes. I’ve
had the pool for over two years now, and it is still my beautiful oasis.”
R.W. – Goshen, NY
The Palmer Pool Club “The kids and I have always gone up to the pool
club to swim, but now we have our own personal pool club right in our backyard.
No dues, no crowds, and definitely more fun! ”
S.P. – West Norwalk, CT
Living Strong with Gertrude “Now that I’m getting older, the doctor
said I need exercise to keep my bones strong. At my age, I’d like to spare
the public from seeing me work out and my pool is the best way for me to get
the exercise I need.”
G.D. – Maceys Corner, MD
Class of 72’s Reunion Central “I was part of my high school reunion committee,
and when we were looking for a place to hold it, everything was so stuffy and
expensive. That didn’t really seem to be what our reunion was about. So,
I decided to have it at my house. Got some pop-up tents and chairs and lots of
floaties for the pool, and what a hit! Everyone brought their swimsuits, and we
were in the pool for hours. Got to spend real quality time with my old school
mates. Impressed a few people, too!”
T.S. – Darien, CT
Bobby Benton’s Private Membership “I have paid membership dues to my health club
for over 5 years, imagine how much money I could have saved if I had gotten
my pool sooner. One hour of laps combines my cardio and my strength training.
The water gives me evenly distributed resistance on all my muscles. This is
better than any machine at the gym! ”
B.B. – Cascade Heights, GA
The Townsend’s Mini Vacation “John and I have been on what seems like
an eternity of cruise ships. We’ve traveled all over the world. Packed and
unpacked. I wouldn’t trade the experiences for anything. But now we find the
best getaway to be our Anthony & Sylvan Pool. When we were designing it,
we wanted to be sure to have lots of options like a spa, waterfall, sunning area
and lots of plants. I’m glad we did, because now we can pass on traveling
and stay at home for mini vacations.”
B.T. – Valrico, FL
Bob and Patty’s Reason to Play Hotel “We love to throw parties and invite people
to spend the night. It’s a smart thing to do these days. And with our pool,
we can have lots of people over, cook out, dine out and basically hang by the
pool. Last weekend, we started at noon and were still in the pool at midnight!
The way Anthony & Sylvan designed it, we can have 20 people out by the pool
and it doesn’t even feel crowded.”
P.W. – Tampa, FL
Alan Bicknell’s Think Tank “I have come up with some great ideas for my business
just bubbling my time away in the spa. It’s so relaxing. After dinner is
the best. Usually the sun is setting and I am sitting up with my pad, ready to
take down every inspiration that comes to my mind. And sometimes, I don’t
come up with a thing! But it sure feels good.”
A.B. – Orange, CA
Carol Herton’s Cool Down “Summer in Florida just seems to get hotter every
year! With my new Anthony & Sylvan pool, all I have to do is take a dip,
and I am instantly relieved. The summer breeze feels cool on my damp skin. Heaven!
”
C.H. – Port Sutton, FL
Jennifer on Decorating “I have always had trouble making my backyard
feel like the tropical oasis I have always envisioned. Thank you Anthony &
Sylvan for bringing so many ideas on how to do it. Now it’s just perfect!”
J.S. – Wheatland, PA
Relaxing at Any Age “With our new pool, the kids are entertained and
the adults finally get a chance to relax with friends. It’s just a great
gathering place for all ages.”
F.R. – East Las Vegas, NV
The Metz’s Happy Ending “Most of the people
I had talked to who had pools installed loved their pools when they were completed, but
hated the pool company by the time they were completed. That’s certainly
not the case here, and assuming the long term quality of the pool matches the
construction efforts, we would not hesitate to recommend Anthony & Sylvan to our
friends and neighbors in the future.”
S.M. – Leesburg, VA
