As such, HPAC relies on volunteers for every aspect of Club operations outside of the coaching and leadership provided by our professional coaching staff.

To ensure that all families share the responsibility for these tasks, the following policy is in effect. Please review this policy before registering your child for the Club; by registering your swimmer, you are agreeing to abide by this policy.
