HAC Award Recipients

Each year, HAC is proud to recognize outstanding members of our club community through two prestigious awards. These awards celebrate the values of excellence, perseverance, and dedication both in and out of the pool.

Danika Paklepa

"If my years of swimming have taught me anything, it’s that in every part of life, results come when you put in the work. Success isn’t achieved when everyone’s watching; it’s built when no one is."
