What Aquadynamics Design Group Inc does

Aquadynamics Design Group, Inc. is a privately held, six-person aquatic engineering consultancy headquartered in Miami, Florida (5000 SW 75th Ave, Suite 103). Founded by John J Wahler — a veteran design professional with dual training in architecture and engineering — the firm is singularly dedicated to the planning and design of aquatic facilities. Its core offering, Facility Planning and Design Services, runs end-to-end from initial client needs assessment and conceptual design through design development, construction document preparation, permit review, and RFI resolution during construction.

The firm's underlying capability is human-led aquatic design engineering rather than any software platform: it produces dimensionally accurate, ADA-compliant, code-compliant construction drawings for twelve categories of aquatic facilities (municipal water parks, family aquatic centers, competition pools, multi-purpose pools, hotel/condo/resort pools, hydrotherapy pools, custom architectural pools, common residential pools, commercial/municipal renovations, facilities evaluations, high-rise pool engineering, and water activity pools). Manufacturing-vendor input on equipment (play structures, water slides) is integrated during the conceptual phase to ensure dimensional accuracy. There is no disclosed proprietary technology, API, SDK, software product, or AI component; the delivery model is pure professional services.

Revenue is generated through project-based consulting engagements under quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is relationship-led and B2B: Aquadynamics is typically brought in by architectural firms during the design development phase of projects, and also engages municipalities, hospitality developers, condominium developers, university clients, and individual high-rise or residential owners directly. Customer segments are diversified across Florida government, hospitality/real estate, residential, and education verticals. The firm operates exclusively in the U.S. (Florida) market with no disclosed expansion plans, funding rounds, partnerships, or M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• CannonDesign: Large multi-discipline architecture and engineering firm with an aquatic practice serving universities, municipalities, and private clients. Overlaps with Aquadynamics on large aquatic and recreation projects where scope can be retained in-house by larger A&E firms.
• Sink Combs Dethlefs (now part of Perkins&Will): Architecture firm historically known for natatorium and aquatics work, now operating within a large global A&E practice. Represents the type of full-service incumbent that competes with or subconsults to specialized aquatic firms on larger projects.

Direct peers

• Aquatic Design Group: Carlsbad, CA-based aquatic consulting and engineering firm offering planning, design, and operational consulting for pools, waterparks, and aquatic centers. Direct peer serving overlapping public and private sector clients.
• Counsilman-Hunsaker: St. Louis-based aquatic facility design and engineering consultancy specializing in competition pools, leisure pools, and waterparks for municipal, educational, and private clients. Direct competitor to Aquadynamics in the specialized aquatic design niche.
• Larkin Aquatics: Aquatic facility design consultancy focused on natatorium, competition, and recreation pool planning for municipalities, schools, and universities. Comparable in scope and customer mix to Aquadynamics' municipal and education segments.
• Water Technology, Inc. Beaver Dam, WI-based aquatic design and engineering firm serving municipalities, schools, and private developers with planning, design, and equipment specification for pools and waterparks. Competes head-to-head for aquatic design commissions.

Others

• Natare Corporation: Provider of pool and aquatic facility systems, including stainless-steel competition pools and movable bulkheads. Comparable as an adjacent technical vendor often involved in the same municipal and competition pool projects Aquadynamics designs.
• Myrtha Pools: Stainless-steel pool manufacturer and design-build contractor active in municipal and competition pool projects globally. Comparable in the aquatic project ecosystem and frequently collaborates with or competes against aquatic design consultancies during specification.

Regional players

• Aquatic Facility Design & Engineering (various regional firms): Regional aquatic design and engineering consultancies operating in specific U.S. states (e.g., Texas, California, Northeast) that compete with Aquadynamics for out-of-state or national clients and represent the geographic expansion path Aquadynamics could follow.

Emerging players

• Williams Architects: Architecture firm with a dedicated aquatic design practice serving municipalities, parks and recreation districts, and educational clients. Comparable overlap on aquatic center and competition pool design, though broader in overall architectural scope.
