Commercial aquatic construction · Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky
Building aquatic facilities that perform.
JTR Pools designs, builds, and renovates commercial pools, splash pads, and mechanical systems for cities, schools, YMCAs, and waterparks across the Midwest. Engineered for institutional use. Built to last decades.
About JTR Pools
Twenty-five years building aquatic infrastructure for the institutions that need it most.
Commercial pools fail in ways residential pools never do. Daily bather loads of 500+ swimmers, 16-hour operating days, year-round chemical exposure, ADA accessibility requirements, mandatory health-department inspections. A facility that performs through all of that wasn't built like a backyard pool — it was engineered.
That engineering discipline is what JTR Pools brings to every project. We don't do residential. We focus exclusively on the schools, cities, parks, YMCAs, and waterparks where the stakes are highest and the demands never let up — and we build the structural, mechanical, and finish systems that hold up to it.
From a complete natatorium build to a single mechanical room renovation, every project we touch is designed for the long game.
Who we build for
Four institutional markets, one engineering standard.
Schools & Universities

Why JTR Pools
Built different — for the way commercial pools actually get used.
Most pool companies focus on residential, then dabble in commercial. We do the opposite — commercial-only, every project, for over two decades. That focus shapes everything from the materials we specify to the way we sequence a build.
Commercial-only focus
Every project we touch is a school, city, YMCA, or commercial facility. We don't switch contexts between residential and institutional work — we live in this market.
Engineered for daily use
500-bather days, 16-hour operating windows, year-round chemical exposure. Every system we install is sized and specified for institutional duty cycles.
Full code compliance
Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky health-department code. ADA accessibility. NEC electrical. We deliver projects that pass inspection on the first walkthrough.
Long-term partnership
We don't disappear after the ribbon cutting. Service contracts, training for your operations team, and parts support for the systems we install.
