Definitely never. Never. Ever. Ever. Never swim alone at kehena. Don't even get in the water if you are not confident(even if its a sunday and the beach is crowded), the surf is very dangerous and can suck you under the water and tumble you until you don't know which way is up! Also big waves come in and smash you up on the rocky beach also potentially causing a tumble.
I'd recommend being able to sprint in / out of the water as the break is receding post swell for entrance and exit.
Also dolphins can and will drown you. Don't pretend they are unicorns.
All that said its not much worse than many other parts of the island i've swum - also I have encountered days there when the surf was calm and you could see to the bottom hundreds of feet out!
