Coach Chuck Hines is a legendary water polo, swimming and whitewater coach who has mentored dozens of regional, national and international champions over the course of his nearly half-century affiliation with The YMCA of Western North Carolina. We're calling on the Asheville YMCA to name it's swimming pool complex in honor of Coach Hines.
I have been compiling the stories shared by former athletes to present to the leadership of the YMCA. These testimonials serve as a clear reminder of the lasting impact Coach Hines has had on our community.

I think the bar has been set high, and he exceeds it. May it be done as requested.

An astounding individual that you should be proud of having associated with your pool complex.

The memory and commitment of Coach Hines to the local YMCA and watersports teams will be reflected in Asheville's Downtown Pool. Kids today have few desirable role models to pattern their lives after, this is an outstanding opportunity to provide Asheville's youths with one.

Extraordinary people come along once in a lifetime to bless a community. Your comminuty was blessed with Mr. Hines and should acknowledge his legacy by naming the dowtown pool after Coach Chuck Hines.

Chuck is an amazing man, and has mentored more kids than I can count. He is directly responsible for helping young folks to find their path in life, in a positive manner. The world is a better place thanks to "The Coach".
