Swim, Unite, Grow: Help Us Create a Community Pool for All!

Living on an island, we must create wholesome learning, recreation, and bonding activities for youth and adults alike, rather than leaving them vulnerable to neglect or negative social influences. We need a community swimming pool in the Vieques Sports Complex

For our children & youth

Our children deserve to have recreational spaces like a swimming pool.

For our Families

We build better family bonding when we spend time together, especially during swimming activities.

For our community

Our community deserves growth and forward driven innovations to improve our standard of living.

The story

Right now, a piece of land in our community holds incredible potential.
We have a unique opportunity to transform it into something meaningful—a space that brings people together, promotes health, and enriches lives. Without action, it may remain unused, missing the chance to serve as a place where generations can learn, connect, and thrive.

However, if we come together, we can create a future of progress, opportunity, and empowerment.
We have the chance to turn this space into a community swimming pool – a place where kids learn life-saving skills, families come together, and our island thrives.

#Right now
An empty, overgrown lot. A symbol of wasted potential. A gloomy reminder of what could have been.

#What can be, soon

A community swimming facility that promotes health and wellness for all ages, reducing the burden of preventable diseases.

If we do nothing...

If this land remains idle and unused, what message are we sending?

Are we willing to let future generations miss out on essential life skills?
Should our community go without safe, welcoming spaces to gather and grow?

Vieques faces economic challenges and a shortage of recreational spaces for families. But we have an opportunity to create something meaningful—a place where people can connect, learn, and thrive.

The choice is ours: We can leave this space untouched, or we can come together and transform it into something that benefits everyone.
