Michael Atkin

President
I 'got my feet wet' in the pool business as a summer job in 2006. I spent the summer stocking shelves, cleaning floors, and loading/ unloading delivery trucks.

I worked year-round through college, where I began to learn more about the industry and the nuances of swimming pool maintenance. I graduated from Johnson and Wales University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sports Management. Upon graduation, I took a job as an operations manager for Marriott. I quickly realized that the structure and the rules of a shirt and tie job were not tailored for my personality. I decided to utilize my background in the pool business, the practical knowledge from my college program, and the learning experiences running the day-to-day of a Marriott Hotel to dive back into the pool business.

Alysa Atkin

Vice President
Our business could not function without Alysa. She’s smart, organized, pleasant, and patient. With a full-time job as a school teacher, she has perfected these

skills on a daily basis for years! Alysa’s organization has helped fill the voids in our back office procedures, and her proficiency with modern technology compliments the manual labor aspects of our business seamlessly. She finally took the leap, and in the late fall of 2022, became a Certified Pool Operator. During Alysa’s free time you will find her exercising, playing with the dogs, or gently reminding me to stop tracking dirt from my boots inside.
