When I was raising my kids there was a great indoor community pool in our neighborhood. They had all kinds of adult exercise classes during the day, kids classes in the afternoons and summers, family swim 3 nights a week plus Sundays, adult swim times, lap swim times, and a swim team. They were a very well run "family friendly" facility with very strict rules on what was allowed during family swim: no water wings, no inner tubes and no rafts were all strictly enforced for safety reasons, but they also had a big bucket of approved water toys for everyone to use. Everyone was happy because different competing needs were all accommodated at different times, so adults who don't want to deal with screaming kids knew when to go there, and no one was trying to keep 4 year old kids swimming laps.
Maybe the solution for the Pahoa Pool would be some scheduling changes and a honest discussion with all the stakeholders (parents, lifeguards, risk management) about how to make it work for everyone, before they reopen.
