Peaceful Pool & Spa

Making a Splash in Southampton

Ten years ago, Cameron Sours and his wife, Barbara, plunged into the pool business when they opened Peaceful Pool and Spa in Southampton. It’s safe to say they have been making a splash ever since. 

Peaceful Pool and Spa is a full-service company that sells above- and in-ground pools, saunas, and hot tubs. They have a full retail store in addition to servicing pools, and they do free water testing.

Cameron, who is vice-president of the company, had worked in the pool distribution business for 16 years when he was looking to do something different, so he and Barbara decided to start a business together. 

Cameron’s experience in the pool business made starting Peaceful Pool and Spa a natural next step after the couple saw the need for a business that sold and serviced pools in Southampton.

“We offer quality products, we stand by our word, and we’re very happy to be in this community. Peaceful Pool and Spa has been embraced by the community because we offer fair prices, quality products, superior customer service and we try to keep things simple and straight forward for our customers,” Cameron said.

“It’s satisfying to build or fix something that someone enjoys," he added.

“Without my wife, we wouldn’t be where we are at,” Cameron said.  Although she doesn’t work in the store, and has another full-time job, Barbara Sour is the president of Peaceful Pool and Spa and handles all the marketing and merchandising for the business.

With so many people staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, Peaceful Pool and Spa saw an uptick in pool sales as consumers looked for alternatives to stay safe and still make memories with their families and friends. 

To keep a pool clear requires maintenance, and Peaceful Pool and Spa has everything customers need, including chemicals, pumps, and pool covers.  

Let’s not forget floats – made popular by celebrities and influencers, novelty floats are the fun accessories of summer, and Peaceful Pool and Spa has plenty of them.


Ready to take the plunge and put a pool in your backyard? The staff at Peaceful Pool and Spa will guide you to making the right decision and will work closely with you through the entire process to select a pool that meets your needs and budget that you can enjoy for many years to come.

Considering a sauna? Peaceful Pool and Spa carries the Finneleo® dry sauna. Dry heat relaxes your muscles and your mind, Cameron said, adding there is medical proof that a dry sauna is beneficial to your health. Saunas can be installed indoors or outdoors, and Cameron said the wonderful thing about them is that they do not require chemicals which makes them very easy to take care of. 

Peaceful Pool and Spa offers Tranquility® hot tubs because they have a complete line of tubs that can fit any budget. With features such as hydrotherapy massage jets that help relieve tension and pain, or LED-illuminated waterfalls, this line offers many bells and whistles at a great price. 

To pool owners, Cameron has this advice: “Run your pump every day for 8-12 hours, check your pool chemistry, keep your skimmer basket clear and check your chlorinator. Your pool will respond by being clear and beautiful.”
