A bit about us
Pool building for me started out when I was assisting a family member with an installation in Brisbane, Australia. I was so impressed with the concept that in 1998 I changed career path and started work as a contractor for a fibreglass pool company and later starting my own business. In Australia pool installers must be licenced builders to ensure the highest standards of pool construction are met. I learnt a lot about my trade and how to perfect it during this time.
Following my return to NZ , I decided to re-establish my business here and Aqua Pools was created in June 2015 along with my wife Kim who manages the administration side of the business.
Almost 20 years later, I’ve helped make pool ownership a reality for over 800 families. As a Director of the company, I am involved in every aspect of your new pool, from design through to installation. I manage the entire process to ensure the highest standards are met throughout the project.
We’re here to help you make your dream pool a reality and we can’t wait to be a part of your journey.
