Genesis 3 Inc.

Throughout its history, the pool and spa industry has struggled to create credible education and certification. Since 1998 GENESIS has set the standard for quality programs, offering hundreds of educational venues internationally for thousands of students, ultimately creating the Society of Watershape Designers. As the only third-party accredited education in our industry, we’ve embraced the opportunity to fulfill the quest of like-minded professionals to have true credibility. Our educational programs have been in demand far and wide by those that recognize the quest for excellence and passion of the GENESIS leaders, instructors, students, and members. Classes have been given in Australia, Germany, Italy, France, Bali, Canada, and, of course, the United States. This furthers the GENESIS mission to create a global sharing of industry knowledge. Beginning in 2012, we shifted into high gear, launching into our newly created “Genesis University.” Due to Education Council Chair David Peterson’s leadership, Brian and Skip’s desire for fundamental improvements within GENESIS, and a fresh attitude, the University provides unequaled opportunities for insuring the advancement of higher education. Coupled with our international stature and benchmark projects, our members set the global standard for watershape design and construction. The Construction classes are the basic foundation for many, while the advanced hydraulics and engineering courses stretch even long-time builders to push themselves higher. Design classes begin with fundamental pencil drawing, evolve into sketching, and culminate with Computer Aided Design. Artistic classes cover not just sophisticated materials and how to apply them; but how differing materials, textures and colors can come together to create one-of-a-kind looks that separate GENESIS Designers and Watershapers from their competitors.
