For the last several weeks, we’ve been teasing the content of this year’s A to Z Issue one letter at a time. The print edition arrives in mailboxes later this month, after which we hope it’ll take up residence for a good long while on Tampa Bay’s finest coffee tables. If you can’t wait for the hard copy, here’s the digital version — and meanwhile, welcome to the letter “P”:

“With people sheltering at home, and with their backyard available, it’s an attractive idea to add to them.”

So said Olympus Pools President James Staten in a story in our Health & Happiness Issue this spring, in which he told dRTB’s Eric Snider that his company was getting more and more inquiries about pool upgrades, especially from the luxury sector. By the look of the pools they create, Olympus clearly knows how to make those upgrades look as snazzy as possible.

IslandWay Pools, a repeat Best of Houzz winner based in Clearwater, specializes in turning dream pools into reality, even previewing the designs via 3D animations so clients can virtually see themselves diving in.

And if you like to lounge around the pool after dark, ask Nebula Lighting Systems to show you the light. The Tampa-based company makes an LED lighting system that’s designed exclusively for screen enclosures, turning that utilitarian pool cage into your own private galaxy.
