Pool reopens at Manoa park

The swimming pool at Manoa District Park will reopen today after more than two weeks out of service because of a breakdown of the pool's pump.

The pump, in constant use since the 1970s, stopped working April 5, and the pool has been closed since.

The 50-meter Manoa pool is open for adult lap swimming from 11 a.m. to

12:30 p.m. weekdays except Tuesday; free and lap swimming from 12:30 to 5 p.m. weekdays, from 1 to 5 p.m. weekends and holidays; and for night swimming from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday.

The Hawai'i Friends of Civic and Law Related Education, a nonprofit organization for students and educators, will hold a two-day reconciliation "conferences" training session from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Kapolei police station.

Enrollment is limited, and advance registration is required. A $50 fee for materials is charged to participants not associated with the Campbell School Complex. For details or to register, call Lorenn Walker at 637-2385.
