Olympic Cascade Aquatics is a Mercer Island based business focusing on youth aquatics instruction and aquatic facility management. Olympic Cascade Aquatics strives to promote swimming as a lifetime sport for the community, and provide a comprehensive program for everyone to use.

The Mercer Island—Mary Wayte Pool was built in 1972 as part of the King County Forward Thrust Bond issue and was originally the Mercer Island District Pool. It was renamed in the early 1990’s after former Mercer Island resident Mary Wayte captured two gold medals in the 1984 Olympic Games held in Los Angeles, California. She also captured two more medals in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. The pool was operated by King County Parks until 1992 when King County divested itself from facilities located in suburban cities. Northwest Center owned and operated the Mary Wayte Pool from 2003 until 2010. When no other operators for the pool could be found , Olympic Cascade Aquatics partnered with the Mercer Island School District and with the financial assistance of the city of Mercer Island, began to operate the pool in 2011. Olympic Cascade Aquatics continues to operate the pool for the benefit of Mercer Island residents and neighboring communities.
