We Need Our Pool
Ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers at over 10,000 feet above sea level aren’t safe to learn and practice the lifesaving and lifelong skill of swimming.
Our capital campaign is to raise $4.5 million to renovate and re-open LCAC and in order to safely do so, swimming pool replacement, ADA upgrades, and HVAC upgrades are required.
Thank you to all donors and the community for supporting this project.
Pb Swims is committed to renovating, operating, and maintaining an affordable public aquatic center. Our priorities are safety, sustainability, diversity, and accessibility as we provide education, recreation, and wellness for all.
Thank you supporters, donors, activists, partners, and City of Leadville voters.
Citizens achieved the Pb Swims’ 2024 Strategic Goal, a voter approved sales tax dedicated to operation and maintenance of an affordable public aquatic center.
This ½ penny city sales tax will generate approximately $474,000 per year.
What affordable public aquatic center? Where?
Lake County Aquatic Center (LCAC) within Lake County Intermediate School (LCIS) is the facility Pb Swims is committed to renovate. A fiscally sustainable indoor swimming pool, built to last, and available to all.
Becca’s Mom: “I want to make a donation, we lost our daughter to drowning.”
Boston’s Mom: “These kids lost their little brother to drowning, glad money is going to the pool.”
Sally’s Brother: “For the health and safety of our community, we need to renovate our aquatic center and re-open the pool. Our family will always miss Sally. We do not want others to suffer the lifelong pain of losing a loved one to drowning.”
Kay: “I had nightmares about drowning until Audie taught me how to swim.”
Gaby: “Our pool offered something for every age group from birth to old age.”
Vicki: “Leadville was enhanced by its swimming pool. Swimming, a low impact sport, not only burns calories, tones muscles and improves heart and lung function, it elevates mood and helps cure depression.”
Mary: “It is vitally important that Lake County move as quickly as possible towards a viable solution in providing a swimming pool for the children and adults of the county.”
Renovating the aquatic center now is fiscally, environmentally, and socially responsible.
We welcome any contribution, in-kind help, and/or shared resources.
