Aqua Culture is Whole Again
The new pump and new heat exchanger have been successfully installed.
Thank you for being so patient. This was a rough week. First, our main pool pump shut down and we had to switch to an old backup pump. Since Monday was a holiday we could not get a new pump until Tuesday. Tuesday night the pool heat exchanger started leaking and we had to shut the heater down. On Wednesday we sourced a new heat exchanger from Connecticut and had it shipped overnight. Travis repaired the pump and attempted a temporary fix on the heater while we waited. The temporary fix but it was unsuccessful. The heat exchanger parts were delivered Thursday evening and Travis successfully repaired the pool heater. The water temperature dropped to 80 on Thursday evening but will be back to 88 in time for Friday’s lessons.
Say Thank You to Travis Keener
Silver Lining
Staff worked hard Thursday evening cleaning, power washing the blue floors, and shampooing through the building. Everything looks and smells great.

Aqua Culture Swim School was founded on the simple yet powerful assertion that Drowning IS Preventable. Drownings are the leading cause of injury death for young children ages 1 to 4 and the second leading cause in children 1 to 14; three children die in the US every day as a result of drowning. Research has shown that participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children aged 1 to 4 years.

Researchers at Griffith University found that swim lessons actually teach a whole lot more than bubble blowing and back floats. In fact, their study showed that kids who took swim lessons before the age of 5, were 6 to 20 months ahead of their peers…in a ton of different areas.
The study looked at 7,000 kids who took swimming lessons in the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Turns out, those swim class kids had a substantial competitive edge across all developmental areas:
- Intellectually, they were 6 months ahead of their peers in counting and mathematics reasoning.
- Physically, they were 7 months ahead in motor development.
- Socially, they were 15 months ahead in socio and emotional development.

Rec Swim & Water Exercise Sign-up
– We offer rec swim opportunities via SignUpGenius. Currently enrolled swim school families and HAWC swimmers/exercisers are eligible to sign up. (Swim school families please do not sign up for a rec swim during your swimmers lessons):
Follow Good Safety Practices and Observe Pool Etiquette During Rec Swim Times – Rec swim guidelines: Parents need to be in the water unless the swimmer is 6 or older and at least level 3B. Any floatation devices must be coast guard approved and the use of a floatation device does not override the need for the parent to be in the water. A parent must be on deck with all swimmers even if the parent is not required to be in the water. Constant supervision is a key element to water safety.
