Charles “Sparky” Kawamoto Swim Stadium in Hilo is closed until further notice after the pool pump was damaged during a lightning storm on Monday, March 23.
With the pool pump inoperable, the County of Hawaiʻi Department of Parks and Recreation closed the facility on Tuesday, March 24. After consulting with an electrician and a pool pump repair contractor, it was determined that the pump needs to be removed and repaired, a process that is now underway.
The department anticipates the pool could be closed for at least two weeks. Staff and some aquatics programs that were scheduled for Kawamoto pool are being reassigned to NAS Swimming Pool.
For more information, please call the Aquatics Section at 808-339-5491 and visit the Aquatics website.
