WHATCOM COUNTY IS A COMMUNITY DEFINED BY WATER.
However, when it comes to access to pool space, we’re running dry.
Whatcom Aquatics Foundation was formed to respond to a growing, urgent need: more indoor aquatics space for our community. Whether you're a family looking for swim lessons, an athlete training for competition, someone pursuing low-impact fitness, or simply seeking a safe place to enjoy the water — indoor pool space should be accessible to all.
Our vision is to create a state-of-the-art aquatics hub as a cornerstone for multigenerational community wellness of body and mind, athletic achievement, lifelong learning and water safety. We will create a future where Whatcom County becomes a leader in aquatic programs, fostering a healthy, connected, and vibrant community for generations to come.
