Pool Professionals company history timeline

1868

America did not have a single swimming pool until 1868 when the Cabot Street bath in Boston was built.

1887

The first swimming pool was a public pool built in 1887 in Brookline, Massachusetts.

1895

One of the first residential pools built was on the Vanderbilt estate in Asheville, North Carolina in 1895.

1910

In 1910, Brown University began using chlorine to clean its swimming pool, which is now remembered as the first attempt of chlorine pool sanitation in the United States.

1930

In the 1930’s, hotels began having pools built as marketing tools.

1940

In 1940, the first gunite pool was built.

1950

In the late 1950’s, Esther Williams brand pools began operation, which was the first vinyl-lined swimming pool manufacturer.

In the 1950’s, after the Korean War, the pool construction boom really took off, as more and more pool companies were using gunite over poured concrete or hand-stacked concrete.

1960

But the biggest advancement for the decade of the 1960’s was the shapes of pools, which were becoming more freeform than the rectangle pool that preceded it.

1970

As a testament to the outstanding legacy of quality service established by the Allen brothers so many years ago, Allen Pool Service continues to service some of the original annual contracts initiated in the 1970’s.

The values that were in place when Allen Pool Service was founded in 1970 are still in place today.

Family-owned and operated Swim Chem has been serving the Northern California area since 1970 when owner John Wallace saw a need for a dependable pool maintenance company.

1972

Allen Pool company was founded in 1972 by two brothers, Joe and Jerry Allen.

1975

Eventually, the United States adopted this pool treatment method and began using ozone in 1975.

1980

One of the biggest changes of the 1980’s was the desire for pools to be more natural looking, rather than the traditional look of the swimming pool.

The 1980’s were also responsible for the vanishing edge pool, which creates a look that the pool is emptying out.

1990

In the 1990’s, the swimming pool industry finally got what it has needed for a long time—input from consumers.

Our philosophy hasn’t changed since the company was founded in 1990.
