HFC UPDATE

We have some exiting updates and new opportunities we'd like to share. Thank you for your continued support!

Pool Updates

Due to the Governor's recent announcement lifting some restrictions, we are able to open up the pool for more swimmers. Registration is still required, and social distancing requirements remain in effect. Effective Monday, March 22:

Two swimmers are allowed per lane for lap swimming, with one swimmer on each side of the lane.
Eight swimmers are allowed at a time in the open swim lanes.

Additionally, the hot tub is still open for one person at a time, and the sauna remains closed due to the Governor's orders. We also ask you continue to put your used pool equipment in the used equipment bin for cleaning after use.

Coming soon! Swimming lessons

Please contact Neil Erickson if interested in private or group swimming lessons.

We have opened a new workout studio (photo above), with a variety of weights and cardio equipment. Please sign up in the lobby of the studio space to use.
