The Pool Guides Podcast helps homeowners make confident, informed decisions about building the backyard of their dreams.
Hosted by Cristian Shirilla of River Pools, each episode dives into a single question that every pool shopper eventually asks — from “How much does a fiberglass pool cost?” to “Which type of pool is right for my family and climate?”
Rather than marketing spin, you’ll hear honest, expert-driven conversations with the most trusted professionals in the swimming pool industry. Together, we break down pricing, design options, installation realities, and maintenance considerations so you can approach your pool project with clarity — not confusion.
Whether you’re comparing fiberglass, concrete, or vinyl-liner pools, exploring features like automatic covers or tanning ledges, or simply wondering how to choose the right installer, The Pool Guides Podcast is your friendly, trustworthy companion through every step of the journey.
