Catch the Wave Swim School: How Gunn & Pegelow Enhanced the Outdoor Experience with Bromic Outdoor Heaters

Catch the Wave Swim School in South Beloit, Illinois, is dedicated to teaching infants and children life-saving swimming skills, from floating on their backs to confidently swimming in the water. Owners Troy and Deborah Stoffregen are deeply passionate about teaching these skills — and place a strong focus on continued learning and family involvement.
With classes offered year-round, proud parents can watch as their kids splash, swim, and master these life skills from the indoor pool and outdoor patio. With limited indoor viewing space, however, the swim school realized it needed a way to better accommodate all the parents eager to watch their children during lessons, no matter the varying Illinois weather.
To enhance the overall experience for students and parents, Gunn & Pegelow teamed up with the school to recommend several building upgrades. Explore how Gunn & Pegelow recommended the best patio heating solutions, and how their existing outdoor space was transformed by installing Bromic outdoor heaters.
See for yourself how this heating upgrade extended the use of the patio, giving parents a comfortable place to watch their children grow into confident swimmers.

Discovering The Best Heating Solution to Expand the Outdoor Patio Viewing Space

With limited indoor viewing space, the swim school discovered that it needed a new way to accommodate all the parents eager to watch their children during lessons. This provided an excellent opportunity to make better use of the outdoor patio by adding in a new heating solution. The goal from the start was to help create a warm, inviting space for parents, especially during the cooler months of late fall and early spring.
Gunn & Pegelow provided on-site assessments and reviewed the patio dimensions, potential heater mounting locations, and elevations above the finished floor. Understanding that optimal comfort in varying weather conditions was crucial, the Gunn & Pegelow team recommended Bromic Tungsten Electric Infrared Heaters.
Known for their superior performance and design, Bromic Heaters are perfect for extending the usability of outdoor spaces. With uniform heat distribution, they ensure comfort even in cooler weather. With the added benefit of adjustable heat controls, they would also offer energy efficiency and tailored comfort.

The Solution: Bromic’s Superior Heating Technology

Bromic responded to Gunn & Pegelow’s initial on-site assessment with a detailed layout illustration, specifying the number of heaters, their mounting locations, and the recommended height above the floor to ensure even heat distribution across the 40’ x 20’ covered patio.
Bromic’s extensive control options allowed the swim school to select the best setup for outdoor comfort. They selected Bromic’s dimmer controls, which offer a one-to-one relationship between each heater and its control. This setup allows for 0 to 100% heat control for each heater, enabling them to adjust the heat output based on the number of people on the patio, resulting in cost and energy savings.

Creating an Enhanced Outdoor Viewing Experience with The Right Outdoor Heating Solution

The installation of Bromic outdoor heaters significantly improved the outdoor viewing experience for parents. With the ability to adjust the heat output, the patio became a cozy, welcoming space where parents could comfortably watch their children swim, even in cooler weather. This upgrade extended the outdoor viewing season, ensuring that parents’ experience was enjoyable and comfortable year-round.
Troy and Deborah’s commitment to their community and their dedication to providing the best possible experience for their students and their families is evident in their choice to install Bromic heaters. The upgrade not only enhanced comfort but also demonstrated their ongoing investment in the school’s facilities and the well-being of their community.
