Poolside by CGT and Hydra Partner to Create a ‘Gold’ Winner!
While Olympic athletes are winning gold medals, Poolside by CGT and Hydra Pools are also winning big with a pool liner pattern they created together called Carnival Gold—that has taken off this summer season. The collaboration between Hydra Pools and Poolside by CGT resulted in a gorgeous pool liner pattern that uses a unique “gold shimmer” ink and is printed on a vibrant, HD electric blue base giving the pattern an intense, vivid color that amplifies the color intensity of the pool water. The pattern showcases a fragmented mosaic pattern using deep blue and gold inks that glimmer in the sunlight. “At Poolside by CGT, we’re excited to collaborate closely with our customers to create bespoke designs tailored to their unique needs in the swimming pool industry,” says David Sones, Manager of Industrial Design at CGT. “As the lead designer for our North American and European industrial design projects, I’m dedicated to working hand-in-hand with our clients to bring their custom visions to life. Poolside by CGT can quickly take ideas from concept to finished vinyl material so pool liner manufacturers like Hydra Pools are able to offer consumers designs that mirror the latest trends in backyard decor.”

Over the past two seasons, Poolside by CGT provided over a dozen unique, exclusive patterns to pool liner manufacturers, including several patterns that have since been used in award-winning pool installations. “Poolside by CGT has the largest house pattern collection in the industry with the broadest range of designs and colors,” says Balsam Ibrahim, Sales Manager for Poolside by CGT. “In addition to this, we love to work with our liner manufacturer partners to create custom designs that are unique to their styles. With vinyl pools, there are virtually no limitations.” More information at: www.poolsidebycgt.com

Marquis Celebrates 25 Years of Make-A-Wish Partnership
LAS VEGAS, NV — December 3, 2025 — Marquis® Spas, a leader in luxury hot tubs and swim spas, is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its partnership with Make-A-Wish®, a milestone that has transformed the lives of more than 1,250 children through the gift of hydrotherapy. Providing ongoing relief for symptoms attributable to many childhood illnesses and conditions.
The journey began in 2000, when Marquis granted its first wish for Andrea, a 15-year-old leukemia survivor. Today, Andrea is cancer-free and raising a family of her own. Her story illustrates the ongoing power of a hot tub to provide more than relaxation. It inspires healing, resilience, and family joy.

“For 25 years, our dealers have been at the heart of this program,” said Melinda Herber, Customer Experience Manager at Marquis, who manages program logistics. “Every wish is more than a hot tub delivery—it’s a beacon of renewed hope. This is about showing up for families when it matters most, and it’s part of what makes the Marquis retail network so special.”
While not the only hot tub manufacturer to partner with Make-A-Wish, the Marquis program stands out as a model for sustained commitment. Marquis dealers often develop long-term connections with wish families and fellow volunteers, while also benefiting from positive recognition and shared pride in making wishes come true.
As Marquis reflects on this 25-year legacy, the company continues to prioritize loyal partnerships, especially with retailers who share its values. “Joining the Marquis network means more than selling premium spas,” said Todd Shannon, Chief Revenue Officer. “It means being part of a brand that delivers lasting enjoyment, builds community trust, and demonstrates leadership through action.”
Josh Cowley, CEO of parent company May Manufacturing, is equally committed. “We believe that every wish granted reflects the heart of our company and our dealer network,” said Cowley. “We’re excited to continue this legacy and invite retailers who share our values to join Marquis in making an even broader impact in the years ahead.”

Marquis® has been manufacturing premium hot tubs and swim spas since 1980. With a commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and community, Marquis partners with retailers across the globe to deliver wellness, relaxation, and joy. A subsidiary of May Manufacturing and proudly made in Las Vegas, NV.
