The Story Behind Lily Pool Co.

Some of the most meaningful moments in life happen in the spaces we create around us.

For Vlad, that realization began long before Lily Pool Co. had a name.

In 2010, Vlad’s family founded a small family run swim school. Over the years, he went from coach to manager to owner, helping grow the business into a well known local swim school welcoming thousands of families each week.

Through those years, he learned something that stayed with him. The water mattered; but what happened around it mattered more. Kids learned to swim. Parents watched first jumps, first strokes, and first small moments of confidence unfold in their children. Families spent time together without screens or distractions. Friendships formed. Milestones were celebrated. Ordinary afternoons became lifelong memories.

Then Vlad’s life changed forever when he became a father to a gorgeous baby girl named Lily.

When his daughter was born, those moments took on an entirely new meaning. He began to see just how quickly childhood moves and how valuable the time families spend together really is.

The places we create at home become part of our lives. They become the backdrop for childhood celebrations, friendships, quiet mornings, summer evenings, and the moments we may not realize are important until years later.

Vlad realized he did not simply want to teach inside these spaces. He wanted to create them; and that is where Lily Pool Co. began.

Today, with the help of one of his closest friends, Preston Baxmann, now COO, Lily Pool Co. is a boutique outdoor design and build firm creating complete outdoor living environments centered around premium fibreglass pools and spas.

At Lily Pool Co., we believe your backyard should feel like a natural extension of your home: not only a place that you use for a few months of the year, but a thoughtfully designed environment created around the way you want to live, all year long.

A child learning to swim. Teenagers spending a summer afternoon in the pool with friends. Family gathered around an outdoor kitchen. A quiet coffee beside the water on a clear summer morning. Dinner outside on a crisp autumn night that lasts a little longer than expected. These are the moments we design for, and this is also why our work extends far beyond the pool itself.

From the very first conversation, our team guides each project from concept through design, planning, construction, installation, and completion. The pool or spa may become the heart of the backyard, but every element around it is considered as part of the same vision.

Outdoor kitchens, decks, pergolas, gardens, water features, gathering spaces, lighting, landscaping, and all of the smaller details work together to create a space that feels intentional, cohesive, and completely at home within its surroundings.

One company. One vision. One thoughtfully designed outdoor environment.

Thoughtful design extends to the products we choose and the way we build. Through our partnerships, Lily Pool Co. offers the highest quality, most technologically advanced fibreglass pools on the market, designed with longevity, efficiency, and responsible ownership in mind.

For us, sustainability is not simply about using the word eco friendly. It means choosing products that are built to last, designing systems with efficiency in mind, reducing unnecessary waste, and creating outdoor spaces that will continue to perform and be enjoyed for many, many years rather than being designed around short term trends.

For Vlad, that commitment is personal. Creating something for the next generation also means thinking about the world we leave behind for them.

Lily may have inspired the name, but the idea behind Lily Pool Co. reaches far beyond one family and out to the entire community. We create places where families grow together, where children become teenagers, where friends gather, where life slows down for a little while, and where ordinary moments become the ones you remember the most.

Because the pool matters; but what happens around it matters more.

Lily Pool Co. Life happens around the water.
