Coach’s Aqua-Column
Greetings, my friends.
As our membership grows,
please understand that the
Aquatic Center may need
to make minor adjustments
in our programs and rules
along the way. We want to
serve our members and the
Hatfield community as best
as we can. There will be
some limitations on times for
HAC-Splash parties, which
we will post at the Welcome Desk. Feel free to discuss
this with me at any time.
As membership cards are scanned, photos taken, and
guests are welcomed, we know you will be cooperative and respectful to our incredible seasonal staff and
their efforts to serve you well.
See you on the deck!
