Aquatic Design & Engineering

Design solutions shaped by how facilities are actually built and maintained.

We provide commercial pool and aquatic facility design across the U.S., partnering with architects, owners, and contractors. With over $500M in completed projects and licensure in all 50 states and territories, we create aquatic facilities that excite guests and meet operational goals—from community and competition pools to resorts, water parks, and multi-unit properties.

Let us help you incorporate your goals, objectives, and budget into a design that translates into a clear vision of success. Our comprehensive 10-step approach ensures that every step in the process is carefully considered, evaluated, and delivered to meet the highest standards in aquatic design.

Facility Assessment

Understanding what Exists.
Defining what’s Possible.

Every great design begins with knowing what exists today. We evaluate the full condition of your aquatic facility—structural, mechanical, and operational—to identify what’s performing, what’s not, and what’s possible. We combine technical insight with practical recommendations that set the foundation for smarter planning and cost forecasting.

Budgeting

Real-World Cost Modeling You Can Trust

Our detailed cost modeling includes preliminary estimates, life-cycle cost analysis, regional construction trends, equipment efficiencies, and operational needs. Our budgets are based on real-world data from in-house estimators who bid on projects daily, ensuring accurate, current pricing and realistic projections from concept through completion.

Renderings

Visualizing the Experience Before It’s Built

We bring your aquatic vision to life through detailed renderings, visualizations, and flythroughs, so stakeholders can explore and refine every design element. Our in-house and partner teams develop realistic, presentation-ready imagery that helps clients and communities visualize the final result with precision and excitement.

Schematic Design

Integrating Systems for Performance and Efficiency

Our team works closely with architects, engineers, and contractors to integrate structural, mechanical, and safety requirements. We optimize space planning throughout the facility to ensure ease of operation while maximizing functionality.

Design Development

Refining the Details That Drive Long-Term Success

At this stage, we finalize features, hydraulics, and equipment specifications while accounting for present and future construction timelines, cost trends, prevailing wage projections, and regional cost differences.
