The Florida Swimming Pool Association (FSPA) recognized 13 companies who received more than 25 Awards of Excellence in the organizationโs annual Design Awards competition. The winners were announced during the 51st annual Everything Under the Sun Expo.
The annual FSPA Design Awards program gives FSPA members an opportunity to enter their pools, spas and water features for judging on workmanship, soundness of design, beauty, practicality and safety. Categories customized for Florida pool construction divide the entries by size, type of construction and features. Winners were selected by the Design Awards Committee, a volunteer group of decorated professionals in the pool and spa industry.
Lucas Lagoons of the Manasota Chapter won Best in Show for their aesthetically astounding pool paradise. The group garnered a total of 10 awards, including four Gold Awards.
Other winners included Ikeโs Carter Pool Companies from the Broward Chapter, which garnered five awards including a Gold Award and Technical Achievement. Best Pools of Brevard from the Space Coast Chapter won the โSalt Lifeโ Award for their unique Florida-shaped pool.
In addition to pool and spa design, the organization recognized the Tops in Trucks, recognition for fleet graphics in the pool industry. POOLfection of the Tampa Bay Chapter was the Small Fleet Winner and Master Touch Pool Services of the Palm Beach Chapter was the Large Fleet Winner.
โThe FSPAโs annual Design Awards recognizes the excellent craftsmanship, engineering feats, innovative use of technology, and outstanding quality within Floridaโs pool and spa industry,โ says Elizabeth McMurray, FSPA executive director. โThis yearโs winners represent just a small portion of the incredible pools, spas and water features that builders and their teams are crafting every day around our state.โ
