My wife and I are becoming regulars at the pool. Reading several of these posts reminds me that this site is, to an annoying extent, for whiners.
The pool facility is clean, generally uncrowded and used by a variety of Pahoa folks: kids, handicapped, obese folks walking or gently swimming, a yoga class, and lap swimmers of every type. There's a sign in the rest room stating No Shampooing, presumably a deterrent to homeless folks. 9 to 5 seems to be normal hours for most facilities. I am retired. During my decades of employment I didn't resent anyplace being closed after normal hours. Two local friends who we persuaded to join us, were pleased and surprised. Neither had been there before. They assumed it would be raucous, full of running, shrieking kids. Completely the opposite. Our lifeguards (mahalo to you all), run a tight ship. They're professional, proactive, and friendly.
Or maybe, you whiners should avoid it. Your assumptions are right. Really bad place.
