J. Tortorella Swimming Pools, founded by John Tortorella in 1981 when he graduated with a degree in business and marketing from the New York Institute of Technology. Having worked his way through school cleaning pools – and spending years working side by side with his father, a mason by trade – John not only saw the lack of creativity and quality in the pool industry…he knew he could do better. John was right.

Today, J. Tortorella Swimming Pools ranks among the top firms nationwide and has designed some of the most spectacular pools on Long Island, from their Southampton and Hampton Bays locations. Showcased in such leading publications as House & Gardens, Forbes and The New York Times, the company's numerous awards include those from the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals, Long Island Pool and Spa Association,  North East Spa & Pool Association, and Pool & Spa News.

J. Tortorella Custom Gunite Pools is the flagship in a family of J. Tortorella Companies: J. Tortorella Service provides year round residential and commercial swimming pool and water feature services, Autochem, provides bulk chemicals to commercial and governmental clients; J.

J. Tortorella Pools is very active in their community and industry. They are involved in the North East Spa & Pool Association and National Swimming Pool Institute, locally in the Southampton Business Alliance, Southampton Little League and Southampton Youth Soccer Association.  John Tortorella was honored in 2004 by the American Heart Association, and 2013 by Independent Group for Home Living for his years of dedicated service to their organizations.
