Our Story
Seven decades of building dreams.
In 1952, Wayne Steimle founded California Pools with a simple vision: build beautiful pools that families would cherish for generations. What started as a single crew in Southern California grew into America's most trusted pool construction brand.
Today, with 80,000+ pools completed and a franchise network that spans the country, the California Pools legacy continues to grow, and we're inviting ambitious entrepreneurs to be part of the next chapter.
