So, I am going to be spending a week in Hawaii at the end of September this year. The Poipu Beach area on Kauai is the destination.
Naturally, I want to get some swimming in...in this case I will take advantage of warm(er) water and say Ocean swimming.
Does anyone have any advice, ideas, know of events or teams, etc? Anyone vacation or live in the area and down to show me the ropes or area to swim?

Another vote for Hanalei Bay. Also do NOT miss the Kalalau Trail - I'm sure you've read/heard of it. You can do the first 2 miles & back in 4-5 hours if you're going about it at a fairly steady pace. On your way back, go for a dip in Hanalei Bay to cool off. Then stop at the Kilauea Fish Market and get an ahi tuna wrap. Oh man, I can't think of a better way to spend a day. Oh, and don't go swimming at Hanakapi'ai either... I'm not speaking from experience. I believed the warning signs & drowning markings.
