Aloha! First let me say that this is a super cool website. I flipped out when I saw your Anthony Pools catalog and I'm ashamed to admit that I'm extremely jealous. I grew up swimming in a "baby olympic" Anthony Pool in my childhood home of Anaheim which was built around 1955. My parents made the heartbreaking decision to move when I was 21 and 17 years later I contacted the new owners of the home and asked if I could visit the house. I can't tell you how integral that pool was to my everyday life as a child and adolescent. When I saw it again I got teary-eyed because it was as breathtakingly beautiful and enormous as I remember. A pool that size was really rare back in those days and even though the home is now in a "dubious" area of Anaheim, the owners said they will ask over 1 mill for home because of the pool. I've done some research, and sadly Anthony Pools (which is now Anthony & Sylvan Pools Corporation) has a very BAD reputation. Too bad.
