About Serenity Pools
A builder, not a brand.
Serenity Pools is a Melbourne concrete pool specialist founded in 2012 by Phil Kilworth. We build a small number of pools each year — which is how we keep quality up and Phil on every site.

The Builder
It's never just about constructing a swimming pool.
That's how Phil puts it. “It's about creating a serene oasis — a private relaxing place to retreat to, a space to entertain, and a fun-filled place for children.”
Phil Kilworth founded Serenity Pools in 2012 after more than a decade working in Victorian residential construction. He saw two problems in the Melbourne pool market: builders cutting corners on concrete shell quality, and project managers treating pools as commodities rather than custom builds.
Serenity Pools was his answer — a small, owner-operated studio where every job is designed by Phil, overseen by Phil, and backed by Phil personally. Twelve years later, that hasn't changed.
Our work has been featured in Better Homes & Gardens, and we've had the privilege of building pools for Melbourne families across Toorak, Hampton, Brighton, Williamstown, Armadale, and beyond — many of whom have come back for second builds, or referred friends.
Principles
Four principles that shape every build.
Owner-operated, always.
Phil personally oversees every Serenity Pools project. You deal with the person accountable for the build — not a project manager, not a call centre.
Concrete, or nothing.
We build concrete reinforced pools exclusively. No pre-moulded fibreglass, no compromises on design freedom or longevity.
Honest, itemised quotes.
Our quotes are line-itemised so you see exactly where your investment goes. No surprise invoices, no mid-build price shocks.
Built for the long term.
Every pool is engineered for 50+ years of use. Backed by Victoria's statutory structural warranty and our own workmanship guarantee.
