You may have experienced our work without even knowing it. Pools by Elio built the famous lazy river at Sound Waves inside Gaylord Opryland — one of Tennessee’s most visited water attractions. We’ve also built bars in downtown Nashville and large-scale commercial aquatic facilities across the state.
With over 25 years of industry experience, we understand what makes a commercial water park successful: durability, safety, flow management, and guest experience. Jonathan Elio Rodriguez is hands-on with every commercial project. Everything is done in-house — no subcontractors. That means faster timelines, better quality control, and a single point of accountability.
“There is no job too big. From Gaylord Opryland to your commercial development — we build water parks that draw crowds.”
We’ve built one of the most iconic lazy rivers in Tennessee at Gaylord Opryland’s Sound Waves. From current generation to landscaping, entry/exit points, and tube storage — we design lazy rivers that keep guests floating all day.
From rolling ripples to deep-water swells — we design and build wave pools for hotels, water parks, and municipalities. Includes wave generation equipment, beach-style entry, and safety systems.
Zero-depth entry pools, dumping buckets, water cannons, spray tunnels, and ground geysers. Perfect for family-friendly water parks, community centers, and hotel kid zones.
Body slides, tube slides, bowl slides, and multi-lane racers. We partner with leading slide manufacturers and handle all site work, plumbing, landing pools, and safety certification.
Stationary wave surf simulators are a massive draw for any water park. We handle installation, water circulation, filtration, and surrounding deckin
Shallow kiddie pools with interactive spray features, mini slides, and soft-play surfaces. Designed with safety and visibility in mind.
For municipalities, schools, and athletic clubs — we build regulation competition pools with lane lines, timing systems, and spectator seating.
