  • Great content, perfect lengths

    I have listened to almost all of David’s podcasts and learned so much. The coaching group is a steal at $10 or $20, which is way below the actual value. This review was not solicited...I am just a listener. Update…David just keeps the hits coming. His dedication to the pool guys and gals is immense.

  • I like it!!

    I’ve owned my own pool cleaning company for over 6 years. David’s you tube video’s were, and still are, a tremendous help to my repairing equipment on my route. His podcast episodes are fantastic resources for different things about pools.
