“We are a coalition to build enthusiasm, direction, support, and funds for our community pool in Leavenworth with the goal to create for the upper valley a vibrant year-round aquatics center that preserves a natural outdoor feel.”
This committee is currently exploring options for constructing and maintaining a facility that provides year-round aquatics for the upper valley.
Members of this committee will be meeting with the City Administrator, Matthew Selby, in early September to discuss their findings.
We are currently working on becoming a 501(c) organization (a non-profit group exempt from federal income tax). Until then, we entered into a Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement with the Leavenworth Swim Team. This will enable us to accept tax-deductible donations until we have our own 501(c) designation. In the meantime, tax deductible donations can be made by making checks payable to the "Upper Valley Swim Team" with a memo on the check stating, "For the UVAB"
The UVAB now has a Board of Directors (in alphabetical order):
Brian Decker (Vice-President)
Janet Johnson
Nichol Mathers
Mara Merritt
Ann Murray (Treasurer)
Kurt Peterson (President)
Celeste Peterson (Secretary)
Jenna Swalin
Board Meetings will be held every two weeks. They are open to the public and are listed on our site calendar on the Events Page. Our next meeting is Monday, September 8, 2025 @ 6:00pm at the Chelan County District #3 Fire House Meeting Room.
The city implemented a new online system for registering guests this summer. There is a link to the pool's website at the bottom of this page.
Sincere Thanks to Kelly Lemons and her Team who managed and guarded the pool this summer. Although we had a late start to the season, folks in our community had a wonderful time at the pool and appreciate your work!
If you would like to help support our mission using Venmo, you can use the "Donate link" below. Or you can submit a check to any of our Board Members. Please make the check payable to the "Upper Valley Swim Team" including a memo stating "For the UVAB"
The UVAB is looking for people who share our mission and are interested in sharing their time or talent. Volunteers will play a vital part in supporting our goal. From "worker bees" who can set up chairs, make calls, help with the Splash Bash, display signs, or distribute pamphlets... to folks with expertise in areas such as leadership, fund raising, grant writing, community outreach, website administration, or just plain giving advice, we want to hear from you. Please click on the "Contact Us" link below to share a little bit about yourself, your areas of interest, and your availability.
