This is my first in-ground pool. I took Anthony & Sylvan because they're a national company and they have two stores in the Houston area. I knew that they were going to be reputable. My pool is free-form in shape. The shallow part of it is a 5-foot by 9-foot area that's 6 inches deep. The rest is around 24 feet long by 18 feet wide. I like the way it got designed. I can sit at the shallow end and my grandkids can play in it. I don't have to worry about them being in the deep water. It's far enough from my house so it gets sun all the time. It's also easy to maintain. I just take a net and take rubbish out of it. We chlorinate it through the chlorine tabs to keeps it clean.

Everybody from Anthony and Sylvan did what they're supposed to do. The guy that designed the pool was great. He came over with a computer and designed it right there with us. He showed us what it was going to look like and left us a colored printout of the pool. Our project manager was excellent. I had no problems at all with the contractors, too. I have some friends that have bought pools from other people. Two of their pools have been sitting for four months and are not done yet. I was surprised mine was done in 30 or 35 days. It went fast. I've already recommended Anthony & Sylvan to two different people. I'm looking forward to go outside in the hot days, get in the water, relax, and enjoy family life with our grandkids.
