Legendary Escapes is led by Al Curtis, who has been in the pool industry his entire adult life…he started from the ground up, which as we all know is the best way to get the depth and breadth of experience to understand all there is to know in a particular area. In this case Al knows the swimming pool trade just about inside and out.
Many years ago, when he was given a design request by a customer to add a tanning ledge to their pool without adding a risk to the vinyl liner which is the type of pool that they wanted, Al got to work in the realm of what could be possible if he build a combination pool.He proposed the idea to the homeowner, and as they say, the rest is history. The result was fantastic. It combined the best of both the vinyl liner swimming pool and the creativity allowed by concrete and gunite elements in the pool. Since that first Hybrid Swimming Pool Al and his team have created many different combinations and styles of pool – all with the same outstanding result. A pool like no other, with all the features, benefits, aesthetics and elements that the homeowner could ever dream of asking for.
Al wants your moments in one of his pools, or lounging next to it, to be extraordinary. That is why he does what he does.
Take, for example, the hybrid vinyl/gunite pool and backyard resort he built for a homeowner in Saline. Far more than an attractive in-ground swimming pool, the entire design includes a swim-out seating area with a floating table; a 10-foot sun shelf where guests recline on lounge chairs in a few inches of water; a sheer drop waterfall that conceals a water slide; and a hand-built mechanical and storage shed built to resemble an old-west style adobe.
By combining vinyl and gunite elements within one swimming pool, Curtis is able to customize each swimming pool he builds and create a truly one-of-a-kind work of art in a client’s backyard. He uses vinyl liners for the basic structure of the swimming pool, because it is the most cost-effective and practical for most customers. The limitations of vinyl liners, though, lie in the design features available. Curtis knew there had to be a better way—some way to give clients the benefits of vinyl with the freedom of gunite. So he began combining the elements in a way unlike any other. Curtis is developing this process of combining the elements to form a hybrid swimming pool. A vinyl liner pool can have a gunite sun shelf, so swimmers can sunbathe in shallow water. It can have a swim-up bar or a built-in, tiled waterslide. By combining these elements that have been separate for so long, Curtis is able to build backyard getaways that are specifically tailored to each and every one of his clients.
