Our Purpose

Creating aquatics for a lifetime.

Inspiring Others to Become More

At Counsilman-Hunsaker, we are driven to create aquatic experiences that inspire and transform people and their communities. We believe every decision and every interaction should serve and enhance the human experience through our core competencies: Aquatics, Reputation, Culture, Improvement, Relationships, and Quality.

Founded in 1970 by swimming pioneers and company namesakes James “Doc” Counsilman and Joe Hunsaker, Counsilman-Hunsaker has been established as the trusted industry authority and respected thought leader in aquatics, completing thousands of aquatic projects in all fifty states and internationally. We've expanded thought leadership from aquatic architectural design to include engineering audits, feasibility studies, operations consulting, and HydroApps, a suite of web-based applications to assist with aquatic operations and risk management.

With over five decades of unique expertise and unique partnerships, Counsilman-Hunsaker’s design projects can be seen in universities, municipalities, school districts, hotels, condos, wellness centers, and military bases, while planning and operations services have profoundly impacted hundreds of communities and enhanced the safety and sustainability of their pools.

Our vision at Counsilman-Hunsaker is “Aquatics For Life”. With years of practical aquatic experience contributed by our team members and a passion for innovation, Counsilman-Hunsaker has brought international-class aquatic facilities to life while providing safe and sustainable aquatic operations for millions around the globe.
