About us
Building quality residential and commercial swimming pools throughout Northwest Florida
Panama Pools & Spas is the exclusive Master Pools Builder in North West Florida – a member of the Master Pools Guild. This international network of elite custom pool builders is committed to the sharing of technology and techniques in our quest to building the world’s finest pools.
We do more than build family swimming pools – we make family fun!
Commercial pool construction is an integral part of our business – from condos, hotels, and motels to the military and water-parks. Our largest commercial project Destin West Bayside Pool won the Grand International Award. It’s the Award mentioned at the Master Pools Guild 2005 contest. A lazy river, two pools, and two spas were included the 13,000 square feet of water area. You can view this in our Gallery of Pools.
Our goal is to excel as a quality medium-size company.
We strive to grow so large that we lose the personal connection with our clients. Our construction is a good balance of family swimming pools, larger estate-pools, and commercial pools. We design pools with the latest technology and trends in mind – which is to have more special water design features; to include sophisticated water management and energy conserving equipment, including programmable control automation. Keeping up to date on technology is the basis of our membership in the Master Pools Guild.
For over 62 years we have supported what we sell! While our weekly maintenance service is more limited geographically, our renovation and repair service covers wherever we build. We want to ensure your satisfaction with every pool we build.
A third generation family-owned company
Panama Pools & Spas is a third generation family-owned company, with each generation having grown up in the business appreciating and continuing the attention to detail and quality. Panama Pools & Spas was formed in 1964 by the Russell family. John W. Gay joined the company in 1973 and purchased the business from his wife’s family in 1984. Having been born and raised in Panama City and lived in Pensacola for twenty years, John understands the idiosyncrasies of the different marketplaces.
Stephen M. Gay is the current general construction supervisor. Stephen learned the business from the ground up, starting with cleaning swimming pools on a weekly basis in Pensacola in 1991. In 1998 he moved to Panama City when his father moved back to Panama City Beach.
