Our History & Future

David A. Naples – Founder

David began Blue Water Pools in 1986. After serving as a United States Marine and starting a family, he turned his determination to serving the pool community. His dream grew from one vehicle to now multiple crews servicing his customers. David believes that each customer deserves his personal attention, and that value has been maintained as the company grew and expanded. Over the years, David has taken his original vision and developed it to bring each customer the very best industry standards. David is now retired, but his original vision and commitment to excellence continue to guide the company today, ensuring every customer receives the same level of care and professionalism he established from the very beginning.
