        ๐ŸŒŸ Remembering John Hale ๐ŸŒŸ

        John Hale, CHAWP water polo coach for our youth program, died Saturday, May 18, 2002. John had been an integral member of the CHAWP coaching team and developed many of our younger players. He was also the head coach of the Rowland High School swimming and water polo programs.

        John Hale was a very special member of the CHAWP family. He brought more than coaching skills to our program. He was a quiet hero and role model โ€“ an exceptional man whose honesty and integrity defined him to his family, friends, athletes and their parents. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family.
