❄️ The storm is officially here! ❄️
Snow is starting to fall, and Big Bear is gearing up for a busy ski weekend at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain.

⛄ How much snow do you think we’ll get by the time it’s over? Drop your guess below! 👇

If you host an Airbnb, now is the perfect window to get your hot tub serviced or repaired before the rush next weekend. Once the snow hits, schedules fill fast, and nothing derails a 5-star stay quicker than a spa that isn’t ready.

Not all spa problems can be fixed with routine cleaning, some require real repair expertise.

At Soak or Swim, we’re proud to be one of the only local companies in Big Bear offering professional spa repair services.

Mike has been working on pools and spas since the late 1990s. His experience runs deep - from diagnosing complex equipment issues to making repairs that last. In fact, other spa professionals still call him for advice… and he’s always happy to help.

As a locally owned business with deep roots in this community, we take pride in doing things the right way: with skill, honesty, and integrity. When your spa needs more than maintenance, you want a professional you can trust... not guesswork.

Whether you would like to set up routine service or make a long overdue repair, we are here to help!

During the slower season, Mike has been honored to step up as coach for the BBMS Cubs wrestling team! He’s poured his heart into it. From daily practices to late matches, it’s been about more than wrestling. It’s about teamwork, discipline, and helping these kids grow in confidence both on and off the mat.

They’ve got just 5 days left in their team fundraiser and are only $20 away from their goal! 🙌
If you’d like to support these hardworking Cubs, here’s the link:

We are all about keeping spas sparkling, but we’re even prouder to support the Big Bear community that keeps us going. 💪

Don’t Ignore That Gurgle…
Your spa might be trying to tell you something. 👀

If your hot tub is making strange noises, smells a little funky, or looks more like a swamp than a sanctuary, it’s time to call in the pros.

⚠️ Odd sounds
⚠️ Cloudy water
⚠️ Mystery bubbles
⚠️ Weird smells

These are your spa’s version of a cry for help!

Mike’s been diagnosing and repairing spas since the '90s. From backyard bubbles to major resorts. (The Ritz-Carlton in Naples, FL. Diamond Head Resort in Fort Myers, FL, nbd.)

For the last several years, he has brought that same five-star expertise to the mountains of Big Bear. 💪🧰

🌮 TACO TUESDAY IN BIG BEAR! 🌮

We say we’re going for the tacos…

But let’s be honest, this chile relleno burrito from Azteca is the real star of the show. 🔥🌯

After a long day cleaning spas, Mike fuels up like a legend (as seen here, pre-burrito bliss.)

Support local. Soak often. Eat like a legend.
