Pool Opening

Pool Openings

It’s been a long winter, and finally the sweet breezes of spring begin to blow our way. It’s time to open your swimming pool! Our favorite time of year is pool opening season. We suggest that you start planning your pool opening early – our schedule fills up fast as soon as our Pool Open/Close Proposals are mailed.

Note: Depending on the level of care taken when the pool was closed as well as the winter weather, your pool may need time to clear once it is opened in the spring. Plan to open about 2 weeks or more before any pool parties are planned.
