• Waianae nonprofit launches Hawaii's first mobile teaching pool (kitv.com) — A Waianae-based nonprofit is rolling out Hawaii’s first mobile teaching pool to bring swim lessons directly to local schools and neighborhoods without access to pools. Building on last fall’s Nanakuli-Waianae ocean lessons for fourth graders, the program aims to boost water safety and swimming skills for keiki before they move into open-water training at Poka‘i Bay.
