Holland Community Aquatic Center Holland MI: Hours & Fees

Holland Aquatic Center Hours

HAC operates different pools and fitness areas simultaneously. Its posted general schedule does not mean every slide, swimming lane or family attraction is open all day.

The current official daily activity calendar shows individual pools, lap lanes, family sessions, fitness areas and scheduled programs.

How to Check Whether a Pool Is Open

1. Open the official HAC schedule.
2. Find the date you plan to visit.
3. Choose the correct area: 50-meter pool, Warm Zone, Splash Zone, Activity Pool or Discovery Pool.
4. Read the specific activity name and start/end time.
5. Check whether it is public access, a class, team practice or private reservation.
6. Call 616-393-7595 if you need guaranteed access to a particular feature.

2026–27 Single-Visit Admission Fees

The official rates below became effective September 1, 2026. Resident prices apply to households within the Holland Public School District.

• Open Discovery Pool periods.
• Lap swimming and aqua jogging.
• Fitness center access, subject to age rules.

Resident Proof Checklist

Resident discounts are based on residence inside the Holland Public School District, not simply having a mailing address that says Holland.

Acceptable documentation can include a valid driver’s license, state ID, signed lease or utility bill displaying your name and eligible address.

For guidance on evaluating day passes, resident discounts and pool access at recreation facilities generally, see our community recreation center pass and pool checklist. HAC’s own posted prices take priority.

Membership includes recurring access to scheduled swimming, fitness facilities and the indoor track, plus discounts on qualifying lessons, premium classes and birthday rentals.

Annual Membership Rates

What Counts as a Family Membership?

HAC’s published family definition allows up to two adults, three students ages 18–23, and six children ages 0–17, all living at the same address. Eligibility and household documentation may be checked during enrollment.

Pools & Aquatic Features

Holland Aquatic Center is more than a traditional single-pool community facility. Its aquatic areas accommodate competitive swimming, family recreation, therapeutic exercise and instructed programs.

For a comparison with another Michigan facility offering an indoor aquatic center, our Warren Community Center swimming and activity guide explains the importance of checking swim hours and maintenance notices separately. It is not a second Holland location.

Fall 2026 Family Splash & Water Slide Schedule

HAC publishes seasonal Splash Time blocks. The current Fall schedule lists the following activities:

Special Holiday Splash Sessions

The published Fall calendar also lists Thanksgiving-break Mega Splash sessions November 25 and 27–29, and Christmas-break sessions December 19–23, 26–31 and January 2–3. Some weekdays have noon–4 PM and 5–8 PM blocks; weekend sessions are generally noon–5 PM.
