We’re on a mission to modernize the pool and spa industry—and we’re doing it with a team that knows their stuff, takes pride in what we build, and prioritizes having a great time together. We solve real problems for real people, and we don’t stop until the job’s done right.
At Skimmer, we don’t just build software. We build trust, deliver results, and bring a little fun along the way.
Our values don’t collect dust on a wall—they drive every decision we make, and every experience we create.
We build for pool pros, period. When they save time, grow their business, or make their customers happier, that’s a win for us too.
We believe the best work comes from people who feel seen and supported. And yes, we fully support bad pool puns and the occasional team meme drop.
Whether it’s a feature release or a customer support call, we don’t wait around. We show up and get it done—fast, and with care.
We lead with honesty, even when it’s hard. Open communication makes us stronger teammates, sharper builders, and better humans.
Skimmer began in Phoenix when software engineer Ronny Hash teamed up with a pool pro buried in paperwork. After countless ride-alongs and late nights, the first version launched in 2017, built with care and real input from pool pros.
In 2020, investor Pete Freeland discovered Skimmer through his own pool guy, leading to new leadership and rapid growth. By 2024, more than 30,000 pros were completing over a million route stops with Skimmer.
Today, our 85+ person team is leading the pool service industry– buoyed by a $74M investment from Mainsail Partners– with powerful software, genuine community, and support that always shows up.
We’re proud of the culture we’ve built and the recognition we’ve earned:
