The premier issue of the colorful 16-page magazine were distributed to offices of doctors, dentists and other professionals in key markets around the United States. San Juan also provided copies of "Oasis" to visitors at the NSPI Show in Atlantic City, NJ and other key trade and consumer shows.

"The initial issue of 'Oasis' was well received by the pool buying public, as well as by the San Juan dealer network. Over time, we feel that 'Oasis' will emerge as one of our top tools for reaching prospective pool buyers and convincing them that our fiberglass pools are for them," said San Juan President Kirk Sullivan.

Featuring a picture of a stunning San Juan pool installation in a tropical setting on the cover, the magazine includes a number of stories focusing on interesting residential and commercial installations featuring fiberglass pools by San Juan.

The first issue features 27 photos of installations, including a "masterpiece" by franchisee Bob McLoud of San Juan Pools of Charleston that won first place in Aqua Magazine’s 2001 Design Awards competition.
