ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Baby Otter Swim School is proud to announce the generous donation of $41,181 from Cody Pools & American Pools and Spas, raised through the 2026 Sunshine Classic Golf Tournament.

The donation was officially presented during a check presentation on June 30, 2026, celebrating a shared commitment to water safety, community partnership, and creating brighter futures for children and families throughout Florida.
For more than 50 years, Baby Otter Swim School has been dedicated to reducing childhood drownings through its nationally recognised Turn, Kick, Reach® program, providing private, mobile swim instruction that empowers children with confidence and essential water safety skills.
The annual Sunshine Classic Golf Tournament brings together employees, customers, sponsors, business partners, and community supporters to raise funds for organisations making a positive impact across Central Florida. This year's event resulted in a remarkable $41,181 donation to Baby Otter Swim School.
The funding will play a significant role in supporting Splash for the Spectrum, an initiative designed to create more opportunities for children on the autism spectrum and their families to access specialised swim education in a supportive environment. The initiative reflects Baby Otter's commitment to ensuring that every child, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to develop life-saving water safety skills.
"Every child deserves the confidence, freedom, and safety that comes with learning to swim. We are honored to help not only teach a skill but also open a world of possibilities, build independence, and helps save lives."
