The 2026 Cody Pools Sunshine Classic: Competition and Community for a Critical Cause

The 2026 Cody Pools Sunshine Classic, hosted at the Cleveland Heights Golf Course, served as far more than a day on the links. It was an exciting gathering of industry leaders, regional teams, and community partners united by a single, critical mission: the prevention of autism-related drownings in Florida.

A Unified Effort for Water Safety

This year, the collaboration reached new heights as teams from American Pools & Spas Orlando, Cody Pools Tampa, and Cody Pools Texas joined forces for a cohesive, company-wide event. By bringing together professionals from across the pool industry, we aimed to create a significant, lasting impact on water safety education. The primary objective of this tournament was to support the Baby Otter Swim School, an organization dedicated to providing specialized swimming lessons for children with autism. These programs are essential, as they teach life-saving survival techniques tailored to the specific needs of autistic children, providing families with peace of mind and the skills to prevent accidental drowning deaths.

Philanthropy in Action

The success of the Sunshine Classic was built upon the collective generosity of those who believe in this life-saving mission. Our event sponsors were instrumental in bringing this vision to life:

  • Birdie Sponsors: Jandy, Elite Gunite, Maschmeyer Concrete, Heritage, Pentair, and Gorman.
  • Par Sponsors: Microglass, Paramount, Belgard, Lyon Financial, Gunite Works, Pool Corp, and Pebble Pros.
  • Auction Donators: PopStroke, PGA Superstore, California Pizza Kitchen, Cody Pools Employees.

The tournament also featured a highly anticipated gift basket charity auction. This was bolstered by generous donations from partners like Pop Stroke, PGA Superstore, and California Pizza Kitchen, alongside the heartfelt personal contributions from the employees of American Pools & Spas and Cody Pools Tampa. Their dedication transformed the event into an outstanding achievement of generosity, resulting in $41,181.00 raised to fund these vital survival programs.
