What are people saying (AI review summary)? This venue is highly regarded for its beautiful facilities, ample spectator seating, and good parking, making it an excellent location for high school state championships and watching University of Hawaii aquatic sports. The pool itself is generally well-liked and often not too busy. However, common complaints include very limited operating hours, especially for lap swimming, and the facility can be uncomfortably cold and windy in winter. There are also concerns about dirty bathrooms, slippery locker room floors, and a perceived lack of management interest in improving the user experience.

Such an amazing venue to hold the high school state championship meet. Beautiful facilities with plenty of spectator seating and parking.

Cold as hell during winter time, acts like a big wind tunnel, but nice facilities and people are pretty cool

Very limited hours. Dirty bathrooms. Careful in the locker rooms, special extra slippery tile on floors. Not much interest by the management in trying to improve users' experiences or improve service.

Good pool. Usually not too busy. It just has really limited hours for lap swim... I wish they would keep a lap open for people at all times.
