Our Story
Since 1967
Founded in 1967 as a partnership between Melvin Sanders Sr. and his son, Melvin Sanders Jr., Passion Pools Inc. was established with a singular vision: to deliver complete, expertly crafted in-ground swimming pool installations without compromise.
From its earliest years, Passion Pools quickly earned a reputation as a premier pool builder throughout the Mid-South, serving clients across Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. By 1969, hundreds of pools had been installed—each personally overseen by founder and president Melvin Sanders Sr., ensuring exceptional quality, precision, and longevity.
As the company evolved, leadership under Melvin Sanders Jr. expanded Passion Pools’ capabilities to meet the growing sophistication of the industry. Design innovation, construction excellence, and attention to detail became defining hallmarks of the brand.
Today, Passion Pools proudly represents three—and now four—generations of the Sanders family. The children and grandchildren of Melvin and Evelyn Sanders remain actively involved in the business, carrying forward a legacy rooted in craftsmanship, integrity, and family dedication.
More than five decades later, Passion Pools continues to blend tradition with innovation—creating timeless outdoor environments designed to elevate the way families live, gather, and relax.
