My Dad, Ken Buchmyer, started working at Penguin Pools during his Jr. High school years. My grandmother was friends with the owners of Penguin Pools. He began as a yard boy, cleaning covers, unloading trucks and working in their retail store where he learned about pool water chemistry. When he turned 16 years old, he painted the white lines for the pool layout in preparation for the dig and was “in charge” of keeping the pool site cleaned up.
