Enjoy this sneak peak of our next vision video releasing in January. We once again capture our shared vision for the new Bellevue Aquatic Center through the water stories of some pretty special people that we have gotten to know. Their water stories showcase an aquatic center's vital role in our community. It is a place where community is built, people belong, health and wellness happen, essential life skills are developed, diversity is bridged, and our communities become healthier, safer, and stronger.

Through your generosity, our end of year campaign has raised nearly $14,000. To reach our end of year goal of $30,000, we have a new matching pool of $6,000 to close out the year strong. We appreciate whatever amount is meaningful to you as we build momentum into the year ahead!

In 2023, we will continue our work to create equitable and accessible water safety and aquatic opportunities for all. We make that happen through advocating for greater public and private investment in public aquatic infrastructure so that together we can reduce the swim lesson gap, fill the lifeguard pipeline, expand access to all, and ultimately create a place where people of all ages and abilities can live their water stories and chase their dreams. 

We are happy to share that Thursday, January 19th will be the City of Bellevue's next community meeting. See below for details.

Thank you for your continued support! We would not be able to do this important work without you. We are stronger & better together!
