Pools of Fun
For 39 years we’ve been bringing inground pools to backyards in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas including Avon, Bloomington, Brownsburg, Carmel, Fishers, Greenfield, Greenwood, Noblesville, Lafayette, Plainfield and Zionsville. From custom crafted luxury in-ground pools to our affordable above ground pool options, featuring Doughboy, we offer a wide range of in-ground pool designs to suit backyards and budgets of all sizes. Since breaking ground on our first project in 1981, we’ve grown from a small family business to Indiana’s largest pool company. But we’ve never outgrown our reputation for quality workmanship and customer support. With over 5,300 in ground pool installations to our name, we continue to maintain a customer satisfaction rating of 98.5%. We truly believe that this unflagging commitment to service and the customer experience is what sets us apart in the pool industry, and what earned us the 2011 award for Best Local Pool Builder. Yes. There is a difference with Pools of Fun!

Areas For Improvement
Areas For Improvement - Not Pools of Fun's fault but design a better way to conceal sump pump and discharge hose for removing water under the liner. Secondly, when we filled the pool the fire hydrant was opened and ran for awhile to get rid of the dirty water. We could have used that water to spray the mud off of the driveway.

Mary R.
The entire experience was great. Everything was explained in detail, and everyone I worked with at POF was very prompt responding to questions and concerns. I was comfortable with Dodie from my first meeting, and Bryan put me at ease and informed throughout the entire process. There was no litter or debris left in the yard, and the construction team(s) were quiet, which was very nice at 7:00 a.m.!!!
