Artistic Pools

The Master Pool Guild

Artistic Pools has been a supporting member of the Master Pool Guild since its inception in 1962. Ed Wait, the founder of Artistic Pools was a driving force in the creation of a guild that would uphold the finest standards of quality and represent the industry. Ed served as a director on the Guild's board in its early days. Both Allen Hames, the past president of Artistic Pools and Ron Coker, Sr., the current president have served on the guild's national board of directors. Artistic Pools demonstrates its pride in its affiliation with the guild. That is why every pool built and designed by the company is called a Master Pool by Artistic Pools.
