In a sudden setback for local aquatics, the Kapa‘a Swimming Pool on the island of Kauai is indefinitely closing its doors due to a mechanical hiccup. If you were planning a dip to escape the September heat, you'll have to put those plans on ice. The closure took effect yesterday, and the pool will remain off-limits to swimmers until those elusive repairs are completed, according to the county's announcement.
Patrons wanting to splash around will have to reroute their swim plans as the Department of Parks and Recreation scrambles to resolve the mechanical issues. While the fine folks at the department understand your frustration, they're kindly asking for a bit of patience during this dry spell. Swimmers hankering for some laps can still frequent the Waimea pool, which as reliable as always, will continue its regular schedule despite Kapa‘a's unexpected closure.
To stay afloat with the latest updates on the Kapa‘a swimming pool situation, the public can reach out directly to the Waimea pool staff at 808-338-1271, or make waves over to the county's press release for more details.
