Huron Hurricanes Aquatic Club (HHAC) is celebrating its 35th anniversary by launching a community-focused initiative to upgrade the starting blocks for the swimming pool at the Goderich facility.
According to HHAC this project will not only benefit HHAC athletes but also local high school swim teams and the Special Olympics swim team.
Raising funds to upgrade the starting blocks will enhance opportunities for youth development across Huron County.
“The club is looking to raise $33,000,” admitted Carmen Armstrong of the HHAC.
“This important upgrade will benefit HHAC swimmers, and local high school swim teams.”
The project is entirely spearheaded by the HHAC, and the total project cost to upgrade the starting blocks is $43,000.
Recognizing the unique challenges of operating a rural swim club, HHAC are seeking sponsorships to help cover essential costs and ensure swimming remains accessible to all.
In addition to seeking sponsorships, HHAC is also looking for support from community partners to help share their story, raise awareness, and celebrate the positive impact the club has on local youth.
The HHAC is a community-driven, non-profit swim club committed to providing inclusive programming for swimmers of all ages and abilities, promoting fitness, personal growth, and sportsmanship.
“The HHAC offers a positive, supportive environment where youth develop fitness, personal growth, sportsmanship, and teamwork,” added Armstrong.
“HHAC provides inclusive and affordable swim programming for all levels, from beginners to provincial or national competitors, helping youth build resilience, confidence, leadership skills, and community spirit that extend far beyond the pool.”
Sponsorship levels and recognition varies depending on the amount donated to the project.
Supporters can donate in two ways: by cheque mailed to Huron Hurricanes Aquatic Club, 26 Toronto Blvd., Clinton, or by e-transfer to hhactreasurer25@gmail.com
