Customers say: Quick response

Our history begins with value.\nIn 1954, we opened the doors of our Los Angeles office and began building pools for Southern California families. We had a simple philosophy: build every pool with the finest craftsmanship, respecting our customer�s money and property as if it were our own. \n\nCalifornia families loved our approach. By 1975 we were the state�s premier builder of residential pools. In 1976 we opened our Stockton office � the first of six locations in Northern California. \n\nToday, Swan Pools is California�s leader in residential swimming pools. We have never changed our founding philosophy. But now, we can offer our customer something more - the backing of a secure, successful group of companies, with a 50-year track record and over 50,000 projects completed.\n \n \nBeyond the water is the oasis.\nWe�ve always understood that the pool is just a detail of a bigger picture. Above and around the water is a living environment. It�s a place where families come to find joy, exhilaration, tranquility and the pleasure of company, a private oasis. \n\nToday, Swan Pools creates complete backyard environments, with the pool as a centerpiece. We begin with the lives of our customers, their hopes and dreams, needs and passions. Then we design and build flexible, elegant spaces that enhance their worlds.\n \n \nFrom the intimate to the majestic:\nSwan Pools customers live in compact urban spaces and on sprawling acreages. Their homes are built on hills, on rocks and on beaches. Just as no two families are alike, neither are their properties. Every Swan Pools environment is a unique creation, reflecting the spirit of the owner and the spirit of the land.\n \n \nOur promise has been unchanged since 1954.\nSwan has always, and will always provide our customers with uncompromised quality at the best possible value. For us, quality means longevity, efficiency, performance, craftsmanship and beauty. Value includes both the purchase price and the cost of long-term maintenance. Armed with the industry�s leading long-term warranty and quality assurance program backs our promise.\n \n \nLet Swan Pools create an environment that will bring years of family entertainment�without leaving your home!\n

"The team was amazing! We had an old deck in our backyard and we hired Palm Construction to replace and extend it and they did a great work! The job was done in less than 2 weeks, Communication was great, they cared about the backyard and plants and we are so happy itâ s all ready just before summer. Highly recommended!!"

"Pablo and co. are the best! When we moved we inherited a pool + service. However the service person wasn't so forthcoming when we asked questions. Enter Pablo. He came to our place, inspected our pool and told us everything about it. He answered every bit of questions we had and, get this, he wasn't a pushy salesperson! He even told us the prices of the chemicals he used to keep our pool sparking clean! (And that's why he charged what he charged us). Since then Pablo has expanded his business into designing/building pools. In fact we were so comfortable with him that we always thought of him if there's any backyard structure we wanted to add (such as the upcoming poolside shower). Give him a try, you wouldn't find anyone as honest and hardworking as he is. Worth. Every. Penny!"

The pool related tasks were of very high quality, but the concrete deck work was sub-par, including excessive cracking, poor color matching and poor quality sealing of concrete that resulted in a lot of white haze on the deck (my guess is that the sealer was drying before they applied it). 

It was very difficult to get hold of anyone who knew what was going on with respect to the schedule.  There was a lot of wasted weeks between activities with no apparent explanations.  Overall, frustrating to work with, though again, the quality of the pool work was great (tile, plaster, plumbing, new equipment install).

"Did an excellent job - on time, professional, quick.  Advised of other repairs we may want to consider in the future but they weren't critical or urgent.  They didn't push anything but were just keeping us informed.
What I really like about Poco is I have called them about many things relating to the pool solar, which they handled, and our electrical solar, which they did not.  Regardless of which one I was asking about their customer service has always been outstanding.  They have given me advice on what to look for and ask other contractors about for services they don't provide.  All of their personnel, whether on the phone or the actual service providers, are unfailingly polite, helpful, and friendly.  I would highly recommend them and will definitely keep them as our service provider.

FAQs for pool construction and installation projects in Watsonville, CA

Most spool or cocktail pools take four to 12 weeks from breaking ground to the first swim, although timing varies depending on size, type, and site conditions. An above-ground, vinyl-lined model can be installed within three or four days once the kit arrives, whereas an in-ground spool adds excavation, plumbing, and inspection steps that extend the timeline. Because delivery alone can take a few weeks, lining up permits and any necessary digging or grading work during that window helps keep the project moving.

Cocktail pools are not intended for traditional swimming; they are built to deliver a cooling and relaxing experience. They provide an ideal setting for a refreshing dip rather than for exercise or lap swimming. The pool’s limited dimensions restrict vigorous activity and ensure safety, making it a perfect retreat for quick cool-downs and leisurely soaks in a compact, stylish design.

Spool pools have a depth of 38 to 42 inches, which is ideal for sitting, standing, and gentle dipping. This deliberate depth prioritizes safety and an inviting atmosphere while eliminating the possibility of diving or extended swimming. The measured design creates a secure and intimate space for relaxation, adding a refined touch to your outdoor area.

If you're handy and have experience with excavation, plumbing, and electrical work, consider installing your spool pool yourself. However, hiring a professional ensures the job is done safely and correctly. Pros have the expertise to handle all the technical details, giving you peace of mind and helping you avoid costly mistakes.

Maintaining a spool pool demands regular cleaning, precise chemical balancing, and thorough system inspections. Homeowners should allocate time monthly for filter cleaning and water quality checks, in addition to performing seasonal maintenance, to ensure optimal system performance. Ongoing maintenance preserves water clarity and operational efficiency, reduces repair costs, and extends the pool’s lifespan, creating a safe and enjoyable environment.

Popular upgrades include a brick-paver patio for slip-resistant footing, low-voltage lighting for evening swims, and code-compliant fencing to boost safety. Additionally, consider adding landscaping or a fire pit to transform the pool area into a year-round hangout. Each feature raises overall costs, but thoughtful add-ons improve usability, curb appeal, and, in many markets, resale value.
