United Aqua Group Member Builds Dream Pool for Local Boy Battling Cancer, Inspired by Conference Keynote
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (May 22, 2025)— After hearing a moving keynote address at the 2025 United Aqua Group conference, Luke Unger of Tredway Pools in Fort Wayne, Indiana returned home with a renewed commitment to making a difference. Remarkably, on the same day, he received a message about a local boy battling cancer whose biggest wish was to swim in his own backyard pool.
For Unger, the timing felt like more than a coincidence, it felt like a calling.
“When I heard John [O’Leary] at the UAG conference, it really struck a chord,” said Luke Unger, owner of Tredway Pools and United Aqua Group member. “It reminded me that our work can be more than business, it can be a way to change lives. When I saw that message, it was just a no-brainer. We had to do it.”
The keynote speaker shared his powerful story of surviving burns over 100% of his body as a young boy, inspiring UAG members to turn resilience into action and make a meaningful impact with their lives.

“This is what our group is all about,” said United Aqua Group President Craig Goodson. “We’re not just a buying group; we’re a network of leaders who care deeply about their communities. Luke’s action is a shining example of the character and compassion our members bring to our industry.”
United Aqua Group frequently hosts events that go beyond technical training and purchasing power. Its annual conference aims to build leadership, foster inspiration, and create lasting partnerships across the pool and spa industry.
