Industry awards give the prospective pool buyer a good, honest “third party” opinion about a builder's quality of workmanship. Of course, you only have to build one great pool to call yourself “an award-winning pool builder.” But Lew Akins has been winning awards since 1987, with over one hundred awards when he was at Ocean Quest Pools in Austin, and another fifty or so since he founded Ocean Quest Pools By Lew Akins. At some point, the phrase “award-winning” starts to feel like an understatement.

Most of these awards were determined by independent third party experts who know a lot about pools, such as The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals, the National Spa and Pool Institute and the Pool and Spa News national industry magazine.

Over the years, Lew has written numerous articles on pool design and “negative edge” pool as well as regular columns and feature articles for Pool and Spa News for years.


Lew poses with two awards that he won in 2007.
