Animal Planet to Premiere Season 2 of INSANE POOLS: OFF THE DEEP END, Today

Many professionals can build a pool, but it takes the brilliance of award-winning mastermind Lucas Congdon to create an aquatic masterpiece. INSANE POOLS: OFF THE DEEP END returns for a second season Friday, February 26, at 9 PM ET/PT and follows Lucas and his team as they take their business and customers' backyards to another level. This season, the team dives into a slew of firsts, including some of their biggest builds, new locations and extreme, never-before-attempted creations.

The Florida-based company, Lucas Lagoons, has been creating out-of-the-box designs across backyards for years. Lucas and his team create the best personal paradises in all of Florida, but this season, they take their talents to another part of the south - Huntsville, Alabama. Here, Lucas designs the largest grotto enclosed spa yet featuring the widest waterfall of his career. But, business isn't slowing down back in Florida, where the clients' requests are just as wild. With visions of a jungle oasis in the heart of suburbia and a lavish pool "fit for a mermaid," Lucas has a lot on his plate to deliver a splash.

As amazing as the products of Lucas Lagoons are, these one-of-a-kind wonderlands come with challenges. Is the build too much for the client; can Lucas get the builds done on time and on-budget; do threats of bad weather put the progress of the project on hold? It is up to Lucas and his entire team - a combined group of crazy, yet creative geniuses - to work together and make the dreams of their clients come true.
