Professional Pools
Face of Swimming Pool Construction
For over sixty years, Ken Corner and Professional Pools & Spas, Inc. have served Acadiana as the leading provider of custom pools, pioneering industry-wide procedures, and setting the standard for safety and quality-built swimming pools.
In 1962, while studying accounting at the University of Southwestern Louisiana, Ken entered the pool business, cleaning pools for Lafayette’s sole pool builder. There, he gained experience in service, construction, sales, and management. Years later, he used his experience to open his own business in 1974 and quickly expanded.
Through retail and construction of over 2,500 pools, Ken’s influence is felt throughout Southern Louisiana. He played a key role in the writing and implementation of the first Swimming Pool Codes in the region. Prior to local codes, anyone could build a pool; regardless of any electrical or structural issues that might arise. Thanks to Ken’s work, all pools are certified across the region to the highest safety specifications. In gratitude for his service, the City and Parish of Lafayette issued Professional Pools & Spas Inc. contractor license #001, the very first issued.
“Having served Acadiana as the leading provider of custom pools for over sixty years.”
Professional Pools & Spas, Inc. is a family organization, with Ken’s children playing instrumental roles in the company for decades. Ken’s daughters, Cricket and Courtney, both work in the industry still. Cricket owns a service and retail company, Cricket’s Pool & Spa World, and Courtney works directly with Ken and plans to continue his legacy. Family, along with decades-long employee and subcontractor relationships, highlight Ken’s personal commitment and dedication to every project.
