Description

This podcast is dedicated to discussions around design and construction of watershapes, poolscapes, landscapes, and architecture both residential and commercial. Our goal here is to have a space where honest open discussion of topics related to design and construction challenges takes place, and questions and answers are encouraged by all. This podcast is being moderated by numerous SWD Masters who have been recognized for their expertise within the field of swimming pool design and construction, and who are certified by the National Swimming Pool Foundation (NSPF) for completing all of the educational requirements for graduation from the Genesis University program. We hope that this is a place where you’ll listen and submit your questions, and celebrate your accomplishments with like-minded individuals.
