I built my house in 1999 and installed my pool in 2000, it is now 2022. We needed up grades of course like anything else. When removing the linar it looked almost orginal, thats 22 years later. My service has been spot on for 22 years my pricing has been more then fair. Great service and great installation. Almost a quarter of a century to be consistant says volumes about this company and the owner. I highly recommned them!

Excellent staff! This is our first year owning a pool and we're trying to learn as much as possible. The staff has been readily available to teach us everything we need to know and everyone we've worked with has been very kind and helpful. We're lucky that we bought a house with a Swimco pool!

If you are shopping for a pool, look no further! THIS IS THE COMPANY TO GO WITH! I was beyond impressed with the efficiency of the installation, the end result (an AMAZING pool), and the options that were given to me for the design of the pool. I could write on this page for days and not be able to convey the personal attention that I was given to make sure that I was getting the end product that I wanted. Oddly enough, I wasn't sure what that end product should look like, but Jim was the perfect (and patient!) guide, who presented all my options.
He really cares! That is rare and invaluable. I can't tell you what an awesome experience this was. My "end product" is more than I ever hoped for, and that's all because of Jim. Swimco has changed my life in such a positive way, and I could not be more grateful. I love my backyard and all of the gatherings and memories that have resulted from putting in my beautiful pool! Thank you Swimco, and Jim! Signed - One proud Swimco pool owner!

Had our pool installed 5 years ago. Jim, James and crew were amazing! James spent a couple hours patiently going over different choices and Jim actually went out of the way to meet me and a place to buy a shed/pool house. I don't recommend many businesses, I won't put my name behind a business unless they really derserve it, but Swimco is one of those businesses that I can and will put my name behind. Thank you for all that you do, Swimco!
