Our public pools are places where everyone belongs and dreams are built. Thank you for considering SPLASHForward today among those you support during the final day of GiveBIG.

Our public pools are dream makers. They are places where you can strive to be your best, become stronger and healthier, make new friends, have fun, and achieve your dreams whatever they may be. Justin Fleming's Paralympic dream began in the water and was inspired by Olympian Tom Malchow who also happens to be a SPLASHForward Olympic Ambassador. Justin is one of our local swimming heroes, especially for the physically disabled community. He achieved great heights in the sport of swimming and now gives back to the community through coaching. Through coaching, Justin marries his joy for the water with a passion for working hard to reach goals. His vision for his athletes is to find enjoyment in what they do and work hard at doing it well.

Support SPLASHForward today so that everyone can enjoy and create water stories in new public aquatic facilities.

"Our Parks levy shows our commitment to creating a liveable, sustainable, joyful community with opportunities for everyone to be active and enjoy nature. These grants deliver on that commitment in real, tangible ways, like supporting a rebuilt senior and community center in Redmond, preserving open space in Kirkland, creating active recreational opportunities in Mercer Island and helping Bellevue plan for its dream of a competitive pool. I am so excited to see these investments result in a better quality of life for all King County residents."

"The Aquatics Facilities Grant program is having the desired effect to create momentum for the first time in 50 years to see a countywide expansion and enhancement of our aquatic facilities. This investment in social infrastructure, which aquatic facilities are, will have a direct impact on the health, wellness, and safety of people within our communities with ripple effects that extend to future generations."
