An Award-Winning Pool Company in Sarasota

Florida is known for its hot summers and year-round weather that makes having a pool a necessity. Additionally, Sarasota has a number of pool companies that can create breathtaking designs. Partnering with a pool company that can meet all your needs is key. Even if you don’t have one now, there are quite a few advantages that can make it worthwhile:

  • Home value
    Pools increase the value of the home. In Florida, this feature is in high demand because … who doesn’t want the convenience of being able to jump in the water on a hot day?
  • Exercise
    Swimming is a great way to exercise without putting too much strain on the muscles. In fact, it’s a great low-impact way to boost cardio and stay in shape.
  • Gatherings
    Nothing beats spending time with family and friends on a hot day than hanging out around the pool, lounging in the spa or relaxing in the hot tub. It’s a great way to have quality time without leaving home.

While most people think pool upkeep is too much trouble, if you’re living in Sarasota, you’ll wish you had a pool. Florida weather has its own temperament, so there may be days in the middle of December when it’s perfectly fine to take a dip in the pool. Where else can you do that? Even with the interesting weather, there’s nothing better than being able to relax by your own slice of paradise.

No two pool contractors are alike. For that reason alone, it’s important to do your research to determine which pool company can take your vision and offer recommendations that work for your property and space.

The Only Pool Company with the Swim-Safe Circulation System

A benefit of hiring Swim Incorporated as your pool company is our exclusive Swim-Safe Circulation System. You will not find this feature from any other pool builder. We offer many things that make us special, but the Swim-Safe system clearly sets us apart from the other pool companies.

The Swim-Safe Circulation System is a drain-less pool. Our system eliminates bottom drains that can be an entrapment hazard for young children. Our unique system takes advantage of more surface skimmers to keep the system working as intended. Your water stays clean and you rid your pool of the drain entrapment hazard. This is a safety feature that will keep your family safe and confident.
