OUR TEAM
Founders David and Laura Penton bring nearly 30 years of experience to Fluid Dynamics. David has worked across many different specialties since joining the pool industry in 1991. These include maintenance, repairs and construction in both commercial and residential settings.
David is currently part of the teaching and leadership faculty at Watershape University, as well as one of the co-founders and primary hosts of the Ask The Masters Podcast where he continues to educate other pool and outdoor living industry professionals.
Fluid Dynamics has been recognized by the International Watershape Institute for continued efforts outside the immediate pool industry. Additionally David works alongside author Dr. Wallace J. Nichols at the Live Blue Foundation to spread the word about the health and wellness benefits of being near, in, on, and under water.
David has previously been recognized by the Society of Watershape Designers as an SWD Master – the highest level attainable within the organization.
