Over 250 guests of all ages came to enjoy the afternoon and support the Dolphins. With battery powered cars, a balloon artist, and a bouncy house, the party was quite the family affair. Guests enjoyed festive specialty drinks sponsored by Deep Eddys Vodka, ice cold beers from Ajax Turner Budweiser, a margarita machine (compliments of Margarita Mac – a favorite Chattanooga sponsor!), and of course plenty of hot, spicy crawfish. Entertainment was provided by one of the Dolphins’ lead swim instructors, TJ Carter. The event raised over $30,000 in support of the Dolphins.

As the Nashville Dolphins continue to grow in numbers, limited pool space has become their number one obstacle. With over 200 participants this past year and a waitlist of over 100 more, there is a strong need in the community for another pool. The organization plans to build a facility that will include a 6-lane lap pool and a shallow swim pool for learning – providing much needed services to the Nashville special needs community. The Dolphins are are working diligently to achieve their goal, and are preparing to launch a major gift campaign to provide seed money until a capital campaign is launched. The history of the Dolphins organization, along with the involvement of Jet Linx Nashville team, was recently featured in an issue of SOAR Magazine – click here to read the article!
