About Us

“In 1994 we moved to Ibiza and already on the first day on the island I got a job: cleaning pools. Currently, a lot has happened, a lot has changed, people have arrived and left – but we are still here and we love our job.”

Rick van der Mark – Founder

So, what started as a side job has grown into a large circle of loyal pool owners across the island, and fortunately still growing every day. We are immensely proud to work for many happy customers with whom we’ve started to clean their pools more than 20 years ago.

Rick adds “My most loyal employee in all of these years is Bibi, my daughter, who has been with me as a baby, and forced myself to learn how to clean swimming pools with one arm while rocking the maxi-cosi with the other. As soon as she was able to walk, she became a specialist in netting. She has been helping me ever since”.

Now, after so many years, Pool & the Gang has customers in every corner of the island, and we keep on doing a damn good job!
