pool opening and schedule

[2liveque]

Pahoa Pool has a serious problem finding lifeguards. Nobody wants to be an authority figure in what is quite possibly the most anti-authority region in the State of Hawaii. If you think I'm lying, go ask the aquatics folks in the County's parks and recreation department. They have had major struggles trying to find qualified applicants for lifeguard positions. Remember, these are county, union protected positions. It's not simply about "anybody can be a lifeguard...go apply." Even though some of the current Pahoa lifeguards appear to support the notion of "anybody can be a lifeguard." The struggle is real. Be happy that you have a pool...even with ever-changing lunch hours.
