COUNSILMAN-HUNSAKER

Counsilman-Hunsaker, is a full-service engineering, planning, and design firm specializing since 1970 in recreation and aquatic facilities.

In 1970, legendary Olympic swimming coach, James E. "Doc" Counsilman, Ph.D., and former three time National Champion and World Record Holder, Joe Hunsaker, joined forces to create what has grown to become the Aquatic Design Industry.

Our two founders shared an almost spiritual passion for swimming and for improving aquatics in America. They dreamed a new dream - and envisioned unique and exciting aquatic centers serving every need from world-class competition to community recreation.

Many of the facility innovations that are now standard in the industry leapt to life from the minds and drawing boards at Counsilman-Hunsaker. Their unique understanding of swimming and insights into swimming kinetics led them to new solutions in both facility design and operational efficiency.

Many companies like to boast only of their victories and achievements. At Counsilman-Hunsaker, we're a little different in that regard. We like to tell stories about doing things for the first time and overcoming the challenging things that unexpectedly popped up along the way. Many of the issues we encountered and solved were often thorny and difficult. And, we learned from every one of them.
