Tony’s passion for building quality pools reflects throughout the company and is complemented by our commitment to everyone involved in bringing you the best fiberglass swimming pools available – including our employees, suppliers, dealers, and ultimately, our customers.

History

Founded in Cairns, North Queensland, Australia, Barrier Reef has been family-owned and operated since 1984. So what drove Tony Walton to hop the pond and build a swimming pool manufacturing company here in the United States? Tony states, “The US has always excited me…one thing about America is there is plenty of opportunity here…”

Over the past 40 years, we’ve grown to become one of the largest fiberglass pools manufacturers in the world with over 3,500 swimming pools manufactured annually. What makes us so successful? According to Tony, “We have a good product and we are active in the marketplace, we’re sincere in what we do, and we care about the product we build and deliver to our customers.”

American-Made

Barrier Reef Pools began manufacturing swimming pools in the United States in 2009, opening a 50,000-square-foot facility in South Carolina to house its operations. Soon, installers were coming to us for more pools. That prompted us to build our flagship manufacturing facility in Timmonsville, South Carolina.

Our vision was to become the best fiberglass swimming pool manufacturer in the U.S. To this day, we proudly uphold that mission. Not only do we utilize state-of-the-art processes and deliver superior customer service, but we also use only top-quality materials for our pools. In fact, we have the leading gel coats and color technology in the industry.

We also seek out the most experienced and dedicated professionals for our facilities, from production to quality control.
