About

Large, free public pool for families and fitness buffs with designated kids' sections.

The main pool typically aims for temperatures around 80-82°F, though it can sometimes be cooler. The children's Keiki pool is generally warmer, and a hot tub is also available.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The community pool in Kona receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, consistently described as 'great' and 'amazing.' Reviewers highlight it as perfect for lap swimming, praising its cleanliness, ample open swimming times, and free access. It's considered ideal for both visitors and locals, offering easy parking. The main caveat mentioned is that it can get very crowded during the two weeks prior to Ironman, due to its popularity among racers. Practical advice includes checking hours, following social distancing rules, calling ahead, and showering before entering the pool.

This community pool is absolutely great! Of course swimming in the ocean is nice. But if you feel like a bit of lap swimming, this is the perfect place to go. The one exception is Ironman week, because by now too many racers found out about this pool, and it is crowded in the two weeks prior to the race.

Very nice pool and people to swim with. Perfect for visitors or anyone. This is how it should be-lots of open lap swimming time with easy parking and no fee. Thank you Kona!

This pool is in operation. Check hours and come prepared to follow social distancing rules. It is best to call first. You can park your Tri-bike inside but shower before you get in the pool. I hope this is helpful.
