Patio Pools & Spas

Called Patio Pools back in October to come and give an estimate for doing a complete pool and patio renovation. Two weeks later a man named Doug McCoy came and spent an hour with me. I told him everything I wanted and he gave some great suggestions as well. He said give me a couple of weeks to work up an estimate and I need to send another man over to look about doing the demo to get those numbers. I never heard back from him. Three weeks later I called and left him a message and two days later he did return my phone call. He was apologetic and told me to give him about another week. I never heard back from him — and that was 4 months ago!!! I guess they don’t need a $ 50,000 renovation job! Must be nice to have so much business that you can’t even give a potential client an estimate for a job! So be it — I believe I was actually protected by not hiring them. According to reviews, the job would have been questionable anyways.

For my «Oh no, 3 – 0!» birthday present, my husband decided to get me a swim parka for the colder months at the pool. Not knowing what size I’d be, he took me to Patio Pools and Spas. I totally thought that was weird that a pool chemical place would randomly have swim parkas.
Wow. Color me surprised. I always assumed that these places were where you went to get your jacuzzi and pool maintenance supplies and that’s it. NAY. Patio Pools and Spas also carries goggles, flip flops (Rainbow and Reef!), swim caps, pool toys and various accessories for the novice to experienced swimmer. They also carry the full line of Finis snorkels, all types and brands of fins (including the Finis breaststroke fins!). They also have some great swim accessory bags– a must-​have for anyone on a swim team.
The best part? Their suit selection– there are TONS to choose from and the prices are the lowest I’ve seen in town, including the clearance ones at the big box sporting goods stores. I picked up a Speedo Endurance suit for $ 50, normally they run about $ 85– the prices were ridiculously cheap, as long as I wasn’t picky about color (in my opinion, the uglier the better). I also saw TYR and Dolphin Uglies suits, as well as a couple of other brands I wasn’t familiar with (and can’t remember the name)
The swim parkas they have in store are for trying on only– you try one on to figure out which size you want (I’m glad I did this because I ordered one size up to ensure toasty knees and fingers) and they order it– shipping usually takes about a week. Just in time for the temps to dip down for good for the winter!
The employee there was really helpful and patient, helping me choose the right size parka, and placing the order with care and explaining the store ordering/​shipping process to us.
Next time I need ANYTHING swim related, I’m hitting Patio Pools and Spas without question.
