TRESSS® is a U.S.-based manufacturer of engineered Moving Pool Floor systems for high-end residential and select commercial projects. Our systems apply advanced engineering to deliver Selectable Depth, Space Saving, and Year-Round Use. Safety is integral to our work, and our systems are ASTM-certified and developed for long-term performance and architectural integration.
Our Founding Story
TRESSS® was born from a simple idea: creating a pool that is safe, precisely engineered, and functional year-round—without sacrificing outdoor living space.
When Andrew and Cecilia Heard set out to design their own home, they realized that no Moving Pool Floor system in the U.S. met the level of safety, engineering precision, and architectural refinement they envisioned. So they created one.
Andrew’s background in elite motorsports—including Formula 1, IndyCar, the Indy 500, and NASCAR—shapes the discipline, accuracy, and safety-driven engineering behind every TRESSS® system.
Cecilia leads the brand through vision, client experience, and a meticulous commitment to luxury-level detail.
Together, they have redefined outdoor living—where engineering, architecture, and beauty come together with intention.
The Meaning Behind the Name TRESSS®
The name TRESSS® carries a deeply personal and meaningful origin. In Spanish, “tres” means “three,” honoring the Heards’ three children — Sophia, Sebastian, and Stefani — each with a name beginning in “S.” The three S’s became a symbol of family, purpose, faith, and the inspiration behind the very first TRESSS® design.

The Minds Behind the Masterpiece
Faith at the Foundation
From the very beginning, Andrew and Cecilia have led TRESSS® with a deep sense of gratitude, purpose, and responsibility. Their journey has been guided by faith—grounded in humility, trust, and a commitment to excellence.
This foundation shapes how TRESSS® designs, engineers, and delivers every system today, placing integrity, care, and intention at the heart of the brand.
Andrew Heard – Co-Founder, TRESSS® Aquatectural Designs
With more than two decades of experience in high-performance engineering, Andrew Heard has built his career within the world of motorsport innovation — a field defined by precision, speed, and uncompromising standards. Throughout his professional journey, Andrew has contributed to engineering programs associated with IndyCar, including the Indy 500, as well as advanced technologies developed for Formula 1 and Desert Racing environments.
In that world, every millimeter matters. Every design must perform perfectly under pressure — lessons that shaped Andrew’s approach to engineering and design excellence. When he decided to build a pool for his own home, Andrew couldn’t find anything that met the same level of mechanical integrity and sophistication he was accustomed to in motorsport. So, he designed it himself — creating the first concept of the TRESSS® Moving Pool Floor, where mechanical mastery meets architectural elegance. Today, his vision continues to inspire the brand’s ethos of Luxury Engineering with Purpose — transforming the precision of motorsport into the serenity of modern aquatic living.
