New Cady Way Pool Info👇

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news! The Blue Dolfins have partnered with the City of Winter Park in a public-private initiative to transform Cady Way Pool into a state-of-the-art aquatic facility.

Since 1972, the Blue Dolfins have been a proud part of the Winter Park community. For over 50 years, we’ve taught countless children the life-saving skill of swimming while fostering a lifelong love of the water. Beyond that, we’ve helped hundreds of swimmers turn their dreams of collegiate swimming into reality.

Blue Dolfins coaches Joe Auer, Kim Burke, and Charlie Rose (Oviedo) grew up swimming for this team and regard Cady Way as their second home. This revitalization is more than a team project—it’s a deeply personal mission to give back to the place that has shaped so many lives.

Our vision goes beyond creating a state-of-the-art aquatic facility, complete with

🏊‍♀️New Pool

🏐Beach Volleyball Courts, and 

🌳Historic Green Space

We aim to honor the rich history and charm of the City while taking a bold step into the future. This project is about preserving what makes Winter Park special while inspiring the next generation of families.

So how does this benefit you? 

We’re not going to lie: This is a big project! We’ve got an amazing team of volunteers who are committed to making this happen. 

We’ve signed contracts and started the design process to break ground in just a few months. But we will need everyone’s help to make it happen.

So we want to be crystal clear on what we’re doing and how it benefits you and your family.
