Manoa Pool

Currently Manoa Pool has suspended their evening swim hours due to electrical problems with the lights. No estimate as to when the evening swim hours will resume.
Normally scheduled hours are:
Saturday & Sunday
2pm-​5pm (Half of the pool is free swim, half lap swim)
Monday — Friday
11am-​1pm (lap swim)
3pm-​5pm (free swim)
6:30pm-8:30pm (lap swim)
Generally open 7 days a week, but with holiday hours on occasion and on certain holidays closed. Staff will post on a white board any changes to the schedule.
50 meter Olympic size pool. The only Olympic size public pool open at night in town that I’m aware of. Main pool itself is standard with multiple entry points and a disabled powered chair to help people in and out of the water. Pool also has a thermometer in case you’re interested in what you’re about to get yourself into. There’s a kiddie pool which is much smaller and much shallower. Kiddie pool availability is dependent on staffing.
Temperatures range during the Winter (December-​March) at 80 – 69 F degrees. Summer can get all the way up to 90 F at night. It’s like bathwater, but hey, still got get those laps in.
Lots of free equipment from kick boards, fins and pull floats. No lane lines, but there is a lap pattern that is indicated by the arrows on the deck on both sides. Just follow the arrows and you’ll be fine. Otherwise, you get a talking to by the life guards, but they’re pretty cool with it as long as you swim in line. Pool depth ranges from a few feet to 12 feet at the deepest. People are allowed to dive in at the deep end during free swim. Kids will often do cannon balls. Lane swimming for kids (evening included) requires an adult to swim or supervise them.
Shower and changing area is pretty old and in need of renovation, but there is hot water. There are indoor and outdoor cubby holes to store your stuff. I’ve been going for over 18 months at night and occasionally Saturday and theft is not a problem. There are lockers at the back which do you let you put a lock through if you are paranoid. It’s really best to leave all your valuables at home or locked in your car’s glove compartment.
The crowd varies depending on the day and time as well as the season. Winter sees a steep drop off as temperatures decline, with the usual January fitness resolution crowd who then abandon their resolutions by February. Summer is crowded as people try to beat the heat. Weekend non-​Winter is crowded as people bring their kids.
Staff is charitable and friendly as long as you obey the rules.
Parking is available in the upper lot (via Manoa Road) or the side lot (via Kaaipu Avenue). Generally the side lot has more empty stalls even though it’s a smaller lot.
All in all, it’s a great place to get some low impact, but high quality exercise in.

The lifeguards are a bit overwhelmed at times and take that out on the random person, the pool has the usual public pool floating bits, and the regulars can get a little snippety when others don’t follow the unwritten rules, but hey, I’m a fan!
What is good is that this pool is never too crowded, it is big, and you can swim rain or shine. I wish the hours would permit more lap swim time, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but since it has been this way for awhile, I don’t see that changing. Locker rooms are clean, and showers are well-​maintained. What more can you ask for?

Large public pool with great kiddie pool and nice views. Open for free swim daily, the pool can get crowded for laps, so show up early! Showers are warm and pools are clean and well kept.
Staff is generally rude and unwelcoming and «hair» rules for girls is straight up ancient and unnecessary. Don’t come here for the people, that’s for sure.

Manoa Park is good. I have been to this pool in the past. It is wide and large. it is based on the 50 yard distance. There is parking and there isn’t an overflow from the District Park Facility. There are lay lines. The facilities to change are really well done.
The only problem is the immense amount of swimmers that do come. It can be very crowded at some times. One has to share a lane with other swimmers and at times it may feel as if you are driving in a highway rather than doing laps. I would suggest coming at an earlier time and grab a schedule if the lifeguards do offer it. There are swimming equipment near the lockers for anyone to borrow.

Yup, freeclean pool, with kiddie pool.
It can get crowded but like lot’s of folks say, the people here are nice and considerate and have all their real teeth so it’s all good. Hours are pretty consistent but they stress that you call because they do change especially if weather is bad or there’s holidays etc.
Saturday & Sunday:
2pm-​5pm (Free Swim)
Monday — Friday
11am-​1pm (Lap Swim)
3pm-​5pm (Free Swim)
6:30pm-8:30pm (Lap Swim)
Pros:
— Free, nice area, big enough pools
– in a nice park with lots of grassy areas, playgrounds, tennis courts
–adjacent to the Manoa Elementary School
–lots of free shaded, parking
— hot water showers!
Cons:
–Old showers and bathroom facilities. It works well (good water pressure etc) but the place smells like mildew, the tiles are dirty and some broken. So bring shower slippers, I personally wouldn’t want to walk around barefooted up in there…
–Older locker area, again just smells mildew. I mean it’s already mildew/​moist in Manoa and I know if C & C has money, they’re putting it in the cleanliness of the pool and safety of swimmers… not the lockers and showers.

For being a public pool, this pool is amazing!!! I almost do not want to share my discovery and my swimming pool with anyone!!!
For the longest time, I was checking into Manoa District Park instead of Manoa Pool because I did not want more people to know my secret swimming pool and crowd this place.
Normally, it can get pretty busy in the evenings, but everyone is very friendly. The pool feels sort of like ocean water temperature (so heated?), but I am not sure.
Showers have hot water and are decently clean.
Pool also has boards available for you to borrow.
There are plenty of cubby holes to place your bags and things.
I believe the pool is your typical olympic size pool at 50m lengthwise.
Open 7 days a week!
Now you know what I do with my evenings, don’t stalk me!

I love Manoa Pool! It gets crowded, but the people and the lifeguards are friendly. If you forget your goggles they let you borrow from the lost & found. :)
I wish they had a reliable website to tell you when the pool hours change, when there are youth competitions, holiday hours, etc. Until then, thank god for Unilocal

I like to go to Manoa Pool for lap swimming after a long day at work, or on a weekend afternoon. It’s open 7 days a week (the C&C is no longer on furlough), which is impressive considering it’s a C&C facility. The showers are relatively clean (what you can expect out of a public facility), the lifeguards are friendly, and there is a lot of parking.
Tip — for lap swimming, look at the arrows on the ground near the pool — that’ll tell you which direction you should be swimming in in that particular lane. You swim in one lane going down, and then move over to the next lane coming back.

This pool is located in the Manoa Park next to the old gym. There is a 50 meter lap pool that has lap swimming and free swimming every day. The pool has a depth of 3.5−12 feet. There is also a keiki pool that is 2 – 3 feet deep. There is lots of parking and warm showers. If you don’t know the pool’s public hours just give them a call. The park has some Furlough Fridays so make sure to find them out if you plan to go on a Friday. *The lifeguards are super friendly and awesome!!!*
