Pahoa Community Aquatic Center's Nighttime
Swim Program Temporarily Suspended
The new nighttime swim program at the Pahoa Community Aquatic Center
is being temporally suspended so the pool may be upgraded to better meet
patrons' needs.
Until further notice, Monday, January 26, will mark the last of the nighttime
open -swim sessions offered at the Pahoa Community Aquatic Center.
Lighting and other safety enhancements are needed before the pilot
program will be reinstated.
In response to swimmers' requests for longer operating hours, the
Department of Parks and Recreation earlier this month started keeping the
pool open until 8 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights.
Normal operating hours of 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. closure on
weekends) will resume at the Pahoa Community Aquatic Center starting
Tuesday, January 27.
Information regarding County of Hawaii swimming pools is available at

Officer, at 961-8311 or iarmstronq�a hawaiicountgov.
