Clear Blue Pools brings luxury and relaxation to your backyard

Every Charlestonian is familiar with the dog days of summer in the Lowcountry—the heat, the humidity and the endless search for the perfect pool to hop into to cool away the day. That search has ended, because Clear Blue Pools, Charleston’s premier pool provider, turns that summer fantasy into a reality in as little as four to six weeks. This locally owned small business has been serving the Charleston area for the past 13 years, providing high-end custom pools to homeowners who wish to soak up the blue waters, vitality and sunshine only a refreshing swimming pool can offer.

Clear Blue Pools is a company built on a friendship that began almost two decades ago. The company president, John Waite and Mike Greer, vice president of sales, met over 15 years ago while working for another pool company in Charleston. They became fast friends and were both passionate about creating high-end custom pools. “We decided to start our own company and we have never looked back. The great part about our relationship is we have worked together for almost two decades and still remain friends,” says Mike Greer.

The fact that Clear Blue Pools was born out of a friendship is no coincidence. Building relationships is core to the company’s mission and a key to their continued success in Charleston. The award-winning pool company can assist homeowners with all things pool-related, from design, placement and add-on’s to installation, care and maintenance for the life of the pool. “We believe in building relationships with our customers,” says Mike Greer, “Our customers are our customers long after the pool is built.”

It is important to Clear Blue Pools not only to build a beautiful pool but also to provide service to the pool owners. In addition to the service and maintenance programs, Clear Blue Pools backs up their craftsmanship with a warranty. They also offer renovations, repair and weekly pool care. Once the details are finalized, they begin building the pool by grading the site and framing the shape of the pool. Next in the process is the pre-plumbing, electrical and wall construction, followed by finishing touches like decking, landscaping and accessories. Clear Blue Pools manages the project from start to finish.

“We are a small company that takes a lot of pride in what we do,” says Greer.

And what they do isn’t just about building a functional pool. A beautiful pool can become a sanctuary for the family. Just as the kitchen is the heart of the home, the pool is the hub of family fun! The staff of Clear Blue Pools agrees. “We love what we do. The end result is fun for the customer,” Greer says. “We are building something for entertainment and relaxing.” Clear Blue Pools thinks that the experience of buying and building a pool should be a fun experience. “Although at times our work can be challenging, we try to maintain a sense of humor and really get the customer to enjoy the process,” shares Greer. With the goal of creating a relaxing environment in mind, Clear Blue Pools often incorporates unique elements into the design to create the perfect retreat. Natural elements, such as fieldstone or travertine, blend into the outdoor environment. Other popular additions include sheer or rock waterfalls, vanishing edges, beach entry, LED lighting, fountains, decking, seating benches and pool bars. The waterfalls are always a chic water feature. If the homeowner has a picturesque backdrop such as the ocean, river or marsh, a vanishing edge complements the view. To highlight the pool and offer mood lighting, LED lights provide ambiance. A lighted spa, accompanied by a starry night and the crisp fall air brings romance to the back yard; it’s a home addition that can be enjoyed year-round. An especially popular trend this past year was the sun shelf, an oversized shelf built into the side of the pool. It is approximately nine to 12 inches deep, and can incorporate an umbrella stand. Voila! The sun shelf provides an instant place for sunbathers to soak up the sun, while still staying cool in the pool. A homeowner with a penchant for entertaining may be fond of the pool bar, which is a great feature for a party or gathering.

This past year Clear Blue Pools completed more than 25 pool projects. Two were memorable not only for the pool, but because of the relationship with the clients. One of Greer’s favorite projects was building a pool for a client in Huger, S.C. “It was a spectacular pool with tons of rock work, a swim-up bar and a beach entry. It is a pretty amazing pool, and the client was great,” says Greer. A second favorite project was a pool built for a couple living on the Harbor. “The pool was simple but elegant, and the setting was unreal.”

Whatever the project, Clear Blue Pools can help homeowners turn a vision into reality. Unique and unusual pool projects are their specialty. “We don’t build basic projects, although we do enjoy the basic pool. We have built some of the most outstanding pools in the Lowcountry,” says Greer.

No matter what size, shape or features you decide, Clear Blue Pools is committed to building a beautiful pool to bring years of fun, luxury and entertainment to your backyard. Greer puts it best, “Our work speaks for itself. I think what separates us from the competition is our commitment to do what is right. Many companies will say it, but very few actually do it. We are one of the few.” When you need a pool company you can count on to create a unique, one-of-a kind design with excellent service and a fun-loving spirit, Clear Blue Pools is for you.
