First of all, A HUGE WAVE OF THANKS to all in the community who supported the passage of the PRSA levy in August, 2024. Having the ability to continue maintaining and operating our current pool is paramount to keeping our dream of a year-round pool afloat!

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! The Summer Splash Bash will be held again this Summer at the Howard Hopkins Memorial Pool. The event is sponsored by the Upper Valley Aquatics Boosters (UVAB) in partnership with the Upper Valley Parks & Recreation Service Area (PRSA) and the City of Leavenworth. Come join us from 1-6pm on Date TBD* for FREE Food, Fun & Prizes!
*Date to be determined pending completion of pool repairs. Check back here for the latest information.
The UVAB will need volunteers and/or donors to help with this year's Splash Bash. We need adults who can assist with planning, advertising, soliciting donations or prizes, set-up, games, food-serving, or clean-up. If you can help, please click on the "Contact Us" link below in the "Get Involved" section. Or click on the "Donate Link" below.
We are currently working on becoming a 501(c) organization (a non-profit group exempt from federal income tax). Until then, we are entering 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 "Leavenworth 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.
The city is planning to implement a new online system for checking in guests this summer. Info will be available soon on the City's Pool Website. There is a link to this site at the bottom of this page.
We expect to have information about passes and swim lessons available at the Splash Bash. Otherwise, please refer to the City's Pool Website.
If you would like to help defray the costs of this year's Splash Bash 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 "Leavenworth 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.
