Christopher CArver, CSO and owner
Christopher grew up in North Raleigh and found his love for swimming pools at a very young age, as a member of the Seven Oaks Swim Club (on Creedmoor Rd.). He joined the swim team and spent several summers at the pool asking the lifeguards questions.
Through his youth he was very involved with the Boy Scouts of America, and just before obtaining his Eagle Scout Rank, he obtained his BSA Lifeguard. In the summer of 2000, at the age of 15, he went to work on the Aquatics Staff at Camp Raven Knob, a boy scout camp in the foot hills of North Carolina. He worked at Camp Raven Knob for four summers instructing merit badges like swimming, and lifesaving.
Chris went on to manage the Brier Creek Country Club pool for three summers while attending NC State University before starting Aquatic Management Group.
Chris lives in North Raleigh with his wife Teresa and their 4 children. He enjoys spending time with his family and searching for the elusive NC record bass in his spare time.
