HELP KEEP ŌPUNAKĒ AFLOAT 🤍

This pool has been part of our community for generations.
It’s where we learn to swim.
Where we cool off in summer.
Where we train, rehab, and get fit.

But right now, it’s at a turning point.

Without upgrades, we risk losing accessibility to our pool.
We’re not ready to let that happen.

This isn’t a pool, it’s our pool!

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing how you can
be part of keeping it here for generations to come.
