Last night, Wednesday, October 23, 2024, the International Swimming Hall of Fame hosted the Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce and its exclusive Chairman’s Circle, Trustee Plus and Trustee members for a reception with networking opportunity, showcasing ISHOF and the beautiful new Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Facility.
The group was welcomed by ISHOF Treasurer, Matt McKean, while Board Members Christine Yates and Mario Caprini made presentations about the exciting new changes that are in store for the Fort Lauderdale community with the new $218 million renovation to the ISHOF peninsula that just broke ground last week. ISHOF’s Every Child A Swimmer (ECAS) Program Director, Casey McGovern, spoke briefly about the life saving swim lesson scholarships our ECAS program provides to financially deserving families and the importance of learning how to swim.
Guests were treated to a special dive show by ISHOF Board Member, Ellie Smart, and some of her fellow high divers, who put on another fabulous show, and after the show ended, the divers came over to mingle with and speak to the guests, which is always a highlight!
All in all, it was a huge success for both ISHOF and the Chamber. It was a beautiful evening, with drinks, food, great entertainment, and as always, a beautiful South Florida sunset!
Thank you to all who made it possible, especially the Fort Lauderdale Chamber, Liz Soto and Jenny De Borga, and ISHOF Board Members, Matt McKean, Mario Caprini and Christine Yates.
