Admir Krampitz, 3, of Kihei works on his swimming skills with mom Umida Krampitz on Saturday afternoon at the Kihei Aquatic Center. Umida said she was afraid of water while growing up and she wants her son to feel comfortable and safe. "I started swimming when I was 16 or 17," Umida said. "I felt like I wished I learned at an early age. I think it is very important to swim, especially in Hawaii." National Weather Service forecasters predict today's high temperatures will range from 87 to 92 degrees, with variable winds of up to 15 mph. Skies are expected to be partly cloudy and hazy, with a chance of showers, especially in the afternoon and early evening.

Starting at /week.
