I sure hope you didn’t miss The Aquadettes 60th anniversary show, The Aqua Follies, A Night of Oscar Music! The three-night event was held in August, 2025, and was a joy to behold!

The highly acclaimed synchronized swimmers have already started working on their 2026 event. Because they put on a newly themed show every year, they have high production costs for costumes and props for their new routines. They also raise funds for much needed upgrades to their audio-visual equipment and set decorations. It’s never too early to make a donation!
