I have been  involved in the swimming pool industry since 1984, when I began working in a pool shop during the school holidays.

Over the past 25 years I have accumulated extensive knowledge of the industry, having gained experience in the sales, service, construction, renovation, finishing and supply sides of the industry.

During this time I have won numerous National Pool and Spa Institute
Gold and Silver awards for Swimming Pool Renovations with two companies I was involved with.

After careful consideration and with my experience in the industry, I have decided to form my own company, with the intention of providing a personalised service to the client.

   THE NATIONAL SPA AND POOL INSTITUTE

   The National Spa and Pool Institute (better known as the NSPI) is a watchdog organisation which has the 
   interests of the industry as a whole at heart. This 
means that it is there for the benefit of pool builders and 
   other members as well as pool owners. 

   Formed in the Western Cape in July 1972, the NSPI owes its origins to the American NSPI, formed two 
   decades earlier than ours.

   The world's swimming pool industry started in the USA, but ours was not far behind. Our first swimming 
   pool company of note was Penguin Pools, formed by Dr Michael Finn in Johannesburg in 1956.

   In Cape Town, Tony Goldie was an industry leader who joined the American NSPI after a trip to the US in 
   1968; and it was he who was instrumental in launching an institute here.

   Today there are more than 100 members and the numbers are growing annually. Tony is an honorary life 
   member of the South African NSPI.

   From the start, the idea has been that the NSPI will provide pool owners with 'peace of mind'. Only companies 
   that have been in business for at least two years, trading under the same name, may join. They must also pass 
   stringent financial checks. No company with a judgement against it may join, and the owners and directors must 
   undertake to abide by a strict code of ethics. Both big and small companies operate under the umbrella of the 
   NSPI, and every pool construction type is represented - concrete, gunite, fibreglass and vinyl.
