From Dirt to Diving In

No stock photos. No staged renderings. These are real Swim State builds in the greater Gainesville area — start to finish. Scroll through and watch the transformation happen.

01

The Country Custom Build

A blue-sided home with a wide open backyard. We marked the pool with spray paint, then dug, formed, shot the gunite, and finished with a raised spillover spa, a sun shelf with decorative tile, and a full paver deck — built straight from raw dirt.

From Tired to Show-Stopping

This screened pool had decades on it — worn brown aggregate deck, dated finish, no spa. We demolished the surround, formed and gunited a brand-new raised spa wall, set fresh blue glass mosaic tile, ran travertine bullnose coping, and re-plastered the entire pool. Same footprint. Completely different pool.

The Full Backyard Revival

Old rectangular screened pool, painted concrete deck, no features. We rebuilt the interior in fresh dark plaster, hand-stacked a stone-veneer waterfall grotto, fit a tan body slide right next to the rock face, set a round attached spa with travertine bullnose, and re-decked the whole enclosure in mixed-tone cobblestone pavers. Color-changing LEDs make every night look different.

The Estate-Class New Build

A custom new build at an estate-style home with brick base and board-and-batten siding. We graded the pad, formed the perimeter, shot the gunite shell, set glass mosaic waterline tile, dressed the raised spa walls in stone veneer, troweled the interior plaster, and finished with a full gray travertine paver deck wrapping every side. Two raised water features bookend the pool.

Why a Custom Concrete Pool?

Prefab pools are built around what a factory can produce. A custom concrete pool is designed from scratch — around your yard, your lifestyle, and your exact vision. The result is a backyard that is completely yours.

Any Shape, Any Design

Kidney, rectangular, freeform, infinity edge — concrete pools can be built in any shape and to any specification your yard allows. No mold, no limitations.

✓

Built to Last Decades

Gunite concrete is the most structurally durable pool material available. A well-built concrete pool will outlast fiberglass and vinyl alternatives by decades.

Premium Aesthetics

Stone coping, custom tile, water features, sun shelves, spa combinations — only concrete delivers the level of beauty and customization discerning homeowners expect.

↑

Adds Real Home Value

A quality in-ground concrete pool is one of the best investments a Florida homeowner can make. It adds meaningful value and makes your property stand out.

Real Projects. Real Results.

These are actual projects completed by Swim State Pool Service in the greater Gainesville area. From the first shovel to the final fill, this is our work.

Our 5-Step Build Process

We believe building your pool should be as exciting as owning it. Our structured process keeps you informed, involved, and confident from the first phone call to the day you step in.

1

Consultation & Custom Design

We start at your property. You tell us your goals, your budget, and your wishlist — we produce a custom design built specifically for your yard. No catalog options, no compromise.

2

Permitting & Pre-Construction Planning

We handle every permit, inspection schedule, and site requirement. Our team ensures full Florida building code compliance before anything breaks ground — protecting you from start to finish.

3

Excavation & Gunite Shell

Your backyard is transformed. We excavate to your exact design specs, then apply the reinforced gunite shell — the structural core that will hold your pool together for decades.

4

Plumbing, Equipment & Features

All plumbing, filtration, electrical, lighting, and water features are professionally installed and pressure-tested. Every system is built to perform reliably for years without issue.

5

Tile, Coping, Deck & Final Walkthrough

The finish work goes in: tile, coping, decking, interior plaster. We fill the pool, balance the water, walk you through every system, and hand you the keys to your new backyard.

Why Swim State Pool Service?

Building a pool is a major investment. The contractor you choose determines everything — quality of the build, smoothness of the process, and how the finished pool holds up for decades.

Deep Local Expertise

Years of hands-on custom concrete pool building across the Gainesville area. Complex builds, difficult yards, high expectations — we have handled it all.

✓

Zero Shortcuts on Materials

We use reinforced steel, premium gunite mix, and quality tile and coping on every project. Cutting material costs is how pools fail early — we do not do it.
