If you can't find the information you're looking for here, you can contact him or a capable member of his team! Visit our Ask the Pool Guy Website: https://www.askthepoolguy.com Legendary Escapes is the home of the hybrid swimming pool. Al, the designer and builder, and his team are passionate about creating unique, one-of-a-kind pools. They are constantly innovating and coming up with new ways to better serve their clients. No two Legendary Escapes pools are alike, and they are unlike any pool you'll find elsewhere.

We're happy to work with local builders, wherever "local" might be, to design and build beautiful pools all over the country.
