Cheryl Mulligan, Founder & Director of Operations

CALM Waters was founded by Cheryl Mulligan, who brings over 30 years of leadership in operations and customer experience to every client relationship. Cheryl is actively involved in the day-to-day oversight of all client accounts — ensuring consistent staffing, clear communication, and dependable service delivery at every property CALM Waters serves.

Cheryl is a Certified Red Cross Pool Manager, reinforcing CALM Waters' commitment to preparedness, regulatory standards, and proactive safety oversight. Her background spans aquatics operations and commercial services, giving her a deep understanding of the operational, compliance, and risk-management requirements specific to shared-use and public aquatic facilities.

When you partner with CALM Waters, you are not dealing with a regional manager or a call center. You have direct access to the person who built this company — and who is personally invested in the safety and success of every pool she oversees.

Commercial Aquatics, Done Right

CALM Waters serves commercial and public-use facilities exclusively — including HOAs, property management firms, apartment and condo communities, and municipal facilities. This specialization is intentional.

By focusing exclusively on commercial environments, CALM Waters has developed structured systems, scalable staffing models, and an operational approach tailored specifically to the complexity and accountability that shared-use facilities demand.
