I've pulled the tough duty of two weeks in Hawaii for work. Will be on Hawaii, Oahu, Maui & Kauai. Does anybody have any favorite pools/masters practices to drop in on while there? I've gotten the guide from SGOL - - just looking for recommendations. Thanks!

Our family has been lucky enough to vacation in Kailua-Kona, on the big island, the last several years. We always make at least one workout with the Kona Aquatics masters team, coached by Steve Borowski (Steve won the sprint butterfly events for men 50-54 at the recent Nationals in Honolulu, and was one of the coaches for the Hawaii team). Steve always welcomes visitors and runs a fun and challenging workout. I believe masters workouts are Monday and Friday mornings early (6 am?), and Wednesday evening (6 pm?). We also swim daily in the Kailua harbor, on the portion of the Ironman swimming course that stays up year round. Five or six buoys mark the first 300 yards or so of the course, and Kona Aquatics has placed a buoy further out that marks the turn-around point for a 1.2 mile swim. Swimmers are on the course throughout the day, although early morning, when there is little or no traffic and calm waters, is most popular (7-9 am). There is a storage box on the Kailua pier where swimmersleave their towels and thongs. Have fun!
