The Foundation \nIn 1975, industry icon Locksin Thompson founded Blackthorne Hot Tubs on core values that remain the backbone of the company today. Those values have grown Blackthorne into the trusted pool and spa experts across six Central California counties.\nPride in Integrity\n"Do the right thing, because it is the right thing to do." These words, spoken by Locksin, define the daily fabric of everything Blackthorne represents.\nInnovative Experts\nBlackthorne stays cutting edge through ongoing consumer and staff training, embracing the latest technology, information, and world-class products.\nEnjoy the Experience\nEvery product, service, and piece of expert advice has one focus — you. Our ultimate purpose is to create the best possible experience for every customer.

Our history begins with value.\nIn 1954, we opened the doors of our Los Angeles office and began building pools for Southern California families. We had a simple philosophy: build every pool with the finest craftsmanship, respecting our customer�s money and property as if it were our own. \n\nCalifornia families loved our approach. By 1975 we were the state�s premier builder of residential pools. In 1976 we opened our Stockton office � the first of six locations in Northern California. \n\nToday, Swan Pools is California�s leader in residential swimming pools. We have never changed our founding philosophy. But now, we can offer our customer something more - the backing of a secure, successful group of companies, with a 50-year track record and over 50,000 projects completed.\n \n \nBeyond the water is the oasis.\nWe�ve always understood that the pool is just a detail of a bigger picture. Above and around the water is a living environment. It�s a place where families come to find joy, exhilaration, tranquility and the pleasure of company, a private oasis. \n\nToday, Swan Pools creates complete backyard environments, with the pool as a centerpiece. We begin with the lives of our customers, their hopes and dreams, needs and passions. Then we design and build flexible, elegant spaces that enhance their worlds.\n \n \nFrom the intimate to the majestic:\nSwan Pools customers live in compact urban spaces and on sprawling acreages. Their homes are built on hills, on rocks and on beaches. Just as no two families are alike, neither are their properties. Every Swan Pools environment is a unique creation, reflecting the spirit of the owner and the spirit of the land.\n \n \nOur promise has been unchanged since 1954.\nSwan has always, and will always provide our customers with uncompromised quality at the best possible value. For us, quality means longevity, efficiency, performance, craftsmanship and beauty. Value includes both the purchase price and the cost of long-term maintenance. Armed with the industry�s leading long-term warranty and quality assurance program backs our promise.\n \n \nLet Swan Pools create an environment that will bring years of family entertainment�without leaving your home!\n

"I did not use Elite Pool Service."

"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

"I hired them to replace my deck with new one and Mike and his team did a really great job. They were very easy to work with, always on time, extremely professional, accurate and quick. My new deck looks extraordinary! Thank you Mike and Palm Construction!"

"Luis, did a wonderful job installing a retaining wall, pavers, laying sod and river rock edging for us. We are very satisfied with how lovely everything looks."

"They were awesome and we really liked them. They were very prompt and were able to come out quickly to the home. They were really nice and they completed the job quickly."

"As a widow, who once had a wonderful husband to manage this type of project, I thought it would be difficult for me to plan and execute. I found the team at Royal Pools to be most helpful, especially Tami who kept me informed each step of the way. Overall, it was a great experience."
