Water enthusiasts and regular pool-goers in Maui will have to temporarily adjust their swim routines, as the County Department of Parks and Recreation has announced closures to the Wailuku and Kīhei public swimming pools. The downtime is necessary to upgrade the pools' chlorination systems—a move to ensure better water quality and swimmer safety. According to the official announcement of The County of Maui , the Coach Soichi Sakamoto Pool in Wailuku will be closed starting today, July 22, through to Friday, July 26, while the Kīhei Aquatic Center in Kīhei is scheduled to be closed from August 1 to 16.

If you're looking to get in some laps or take the kids to splash around, you'll have to quickly find to mark your calendar with the upcoming dates. The closures might disrupt some summer plans, but they're for a good cause. Upgraded chlorination is essential to maintain a clean and safe swimming environment, free from contaminants that could put swimmers at risk.
