Featured Fort Lauderdale
Visit the International Swimming Hall of Fame right here in Fort Lauderdale.
Fort Lauderale’s history is closely tied to swimming — after all, it was collegiate swimmers who trained in the winter who would encourage their friends to return with them for Spring Break!
The museum chronicles the history of swimming from ancient times to today. You’ll see 40 displays of Olympic medals, underwater photos of the Titanic, props from the “Tarzan” films (star Johnny Weissmuller called Fort Lauderdale home for a time), and more.
A $90 million renovation has begun that will include a new museum, rooftop restaurant and outdoor dining, scheduled to open in 2025. Meanwhile, the east museum is open. The adjacent Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center opens in late 2022 with new pools and a stunning 27-meter dive tower, the tallest in the Western Hemisphere.
So... You Think You Know South Florida?
Did you know - the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival needs volunteers?
This will be the 37th year of the world-known film festival right here in our Venice of America. And to make it all happen, a bunch of volunteers are needed. This is a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience, network, see the films for free and hobnob with the film makers.
Join the FLIFF staff for the annual recruitment meeting and complimentary movie. Tuesday September 13 at Savor Cinema, and Wednesday September 14 at Cinema Paradiso (6pm for both events). Make sure you register ahead of time.

Do you live and breath checklists? We use them daily at Acton Academy, for everything from planning our SMART goals to making sure Studio Maintenance is done with excellence. And if you've read the Checklist Manifesto, you will know why when it comes to things that matter (life or death in airplanes or operating rooms, checklists are the way to make sure mistakes don't happen). Then you may like this checklist creation tool.
