Text us a pool question!
Sarah (aka Sarah the Pool Girl) drops some big news—she and her husband Andrew are expecting a baby in February! The conversation takes a wild ride from pregnancy excitement to pool safety, splash pad water systems, childhood hamster revenge plots, and why puddle jumpers might not be the best option for teaching kids to swim. This episode is equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and educational, blending mom-to-be moments with pro pool service insights.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- Sarah’s pregnancy announcement and excitement about becoming a mom.

- A deep dive into splash pads: flow-through vs. circulation tanks, water waste, and safety concerns.
- Sarah’s candid fears about drowning and why she avoids lazy rivers and sketchy public pools.
- Childhood stories of hamsters, chihuahuas, and trampoline justice (yes, really).
