Matt Giovanisci has been teaching pool and hot tub care for over 30 years. Starting in 1996, he personally helped thousands of pool and hot tub owners in New Jersey solve their problems.
In 2006, he launched SwimUniversity.com to share his knowledge and unique teaching style with the world.
Since then, Swim University simplified pool and hot tub care for more than 10 million homeowners (and growing) with water chemistry, cleaning, and troubleshooting.

Yes. Once you purchase any of our handbooks or video courses, you have unlimited lifetime access. No subscriptions, no recurring fees. Buy it once, reference it forever.
While I can't personally troubleshoot every pool problem, each course includes access to our private community where you can ask questions and get help from both our team and other pool owners. We also respond to emails at [email protected].
Everything I recommend is based on 30+ years of hands-on experience and what actually works. I only recommend products I've personally used and trust.
I focus on simplification, not complication. Most pool care advice out there is either too technical or trying to sell you unnecessary products and services. I teach you the minimum effective dose—what actually matters for clear, safe water without wasting your time or money.
Absolutely. Everything I create is designed for regular homeowners, not professional pool technicians. I skip the confusing jargon and explain things in plain English. If you can follow a recipe, you can maintain your pool or hot tub with my guidance.
