One Vision
We have a vision. We see every child in the Mission Valley having the chance to learn how to swim. We see every family enjoying the opportunity to grow strong together in spirit, mind, and body. We see a healthy community with an improved quality of life.
One Mission
In order to complete our mission, Mission Valley Aquatics needs to raise a total of $7.4 million for the cost of construction. In future years, we will all be able to look back and know that our contributions and devotion to this project made a difference in what matters most: the health of our entire community and the safety of our children.
A Community in Need
Each year, as many as ten Montana children ages 1-18 will die by drowning. Most drowning fatalities in Montana occur in lakes, rivers, irrigation ditches, and ponds. According to national studies, for each child who drowns, five others have a non-fatal drowning experience, and children who live in rural areas are at a higher risk.
Without adequate training or supervision, our children are at risk. The map at the left shows the innumerable waterways, lakes, and ponds within the Mission Valley Aquatic Center service area. To ensure our children will be safe, we must give them the training and confidence they need in water safety best practices.
