April 19th 2012 – Los Angeles

What before today was an impossibility has become a reality. This pool company in the past has made movable portable pools as large as 50ft x 100ft (15.95m x 30.4m) but this is the first time they have broken the one hundred barrier to make an olymic size pool. 82ft x 164ft (25m x 50m). This pool has already found interest from swim schools and swim teams who are trying to establish a facility for their competitions without putting out a lot of capital and dealing with the many regulations that are involved with and in ground pools. The added benefit that these pools can be moved without damage adds to their allure. Currently the depth limit is 1.32 meters which is slightly shallower than an inground version and while that limites its use for water polo and other activities, swimming is still an option with these pools.

Arthurs Above Ground Pools has proven to be a capable partner for the US swim team, providing warm up pools and promotional pools in the past to the team, now for the first time complete evenst can be held in their pools. See more at: http://www.arthurspools.com

Our Pool Co-staring with the Miz, Santiono and the Big Show, from the WWE

A few years ago it was our pleasure at little pool shop to have a young man working in our store who was doing just about everything. From sales, service and optimization, Ali, as we called him was an invaluable help, and an inexhaustible source of entertainment and condensation for yours truly. He was working just for the summer before he went back to school and we knew at the time we had been blessed with a moment in time, and that he was going on to bigger and better things. Our little store could not contain such a bright light.

You can see by his facebook profile that he has far exceeded the reach of this little office, but we are better for knowing him.

Good luck, and in all your endeavors young man…we will look upon your flight and remember the day, and say…we knew him when.
