The company was founded by Mesha Kussman, a graduate of New York University (Experimental Theater Wing) in 2008 with the intention to enliven the Hollywood Pool Party scene with water entertainment. The initial company included a combination of former National Team Swimmers and dancers who trained in swimming. The company's first residency was at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
In January 2010 Aqualillies launched a Synchronized Swimming Fitness Program offering training in basic skills like: sculling techniques, back layouts, ballet legs, torpedos, tuck turns, and marching.
