Experienced Pool Builders Serving Franklin, Kentucky

Gerald Bishop started Pleasure Pools as a home construction company to provide a group of college students a way to pay their way through college. In 1956, one of his spec homes was entered in the local builders' association “Parade of Homes.”

To separate the home from the other builders' homes, he decided to include an in-ground swimming pool. The response from the public was overwhelming, not for the home, but for the pool.

From Dream to Business

Three years later, Gerald began manufacturing swimming pool panels, liners, and other pool components. By 1965, prefab pool kits were being shipped to independent Pleasure Pools dealers in 28 states.
