The month of February is filled with hearts, all things pink and red, and lots of LOVE!
What makes HSC extra special is that our pools and facilities are filled with LOVE year-round! It’s something that is so important to us that the word is included in our mission statement:
Love is the reason why we do what we do. It is shown in different ways and comes in many shapes and sizes, but it is present in everything we do...
Smiling when we answer the phone.
Explaining our program and curriculum.
Holding little hands.
Giving high fives and hugs and fist bumps.
Wiping tears.
Helping our teammates.
Laughing at silly pre-school jokes.
Scheduling lessons.
Teaching kids how to back float and how to swim butterfly.
Giving gentle reassurances.
Wiping noses.
Applying band aids to boo boos.
Holding babies for mamas who don’t have enough hands.

Singing nursery rhymes at the top of our lungs.
