In this episode of the Pool Magazine Podcast, host Joe Trusty sits down with Kendall Large, Vice President of Marketing at POOLCORP, the world’s largest wholesale distributor of swimming pool supplies. Kendall shares insights into POOLCORP’s sustained growth as the company celebrates its 44th year in business and its 30th anniversary as a publicly traded company.
We discuss the strategic significance of their acquisition of Pinch A Penny, the success of this year’s Retail Summit, and how POOLCORP is using technology, education, and marketing to empower independent retailers and pool pros. Kendall also opens up about the evolution of SWIMPACT! —from supporting swim lessons and lifeguard training to providing disaster relief for pool professionals affected by hurricanes and wildfires.
Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at how POOLCORP is positioning itself for continued growth in 2025—and why their focus on people, community, and customer experience remains stronger than ever.
