I am headed to Maui and Kona for 2 weeks end of July/beginning of August, and have a 4.8 mile swim a week after I get back. Need to swim, will find a pool, but would like to OW swim
In Maui will be in Kihei so could go Wailea or Lahaina direction.
Big island will be mostly on a boat, but I will have a couple days available for a swim, staying right at Kailua pier at the King Kam, near Dig Me beach if you know about that.
Anyone know of any drop in friendly groups?
Did you have any luck? I am headed to Maui and Lanai in February and will be in the same boat.
Never heard from any of the two coaches in Maui I emailed directly unfortunately.
I jsut swam out from Wailea Beach and swam to the next bay a few times, and also from the beach in front of the Makena Resort (used to be the Maui Prince) up to Makena Landing a few times. Note that even if it's calm, once you start going around the points and it gets shallower you get knocked around a bit. Have to go out pretty far around the rocky points to avoid the swell action, and being alone I got a little spooked a couple times, since there is no direct beach access if it went FUBAR
We were on Lanai for a day right near Manele Bay Hotel, was a nice shore break but looked nice beyond that. That is much more remote obviously
