The keiki spent the morning escaping the muggy temperatures.

They were joined at the facility by family members, including their mom, Kazuko, who said they all love to swim.

"We like to come all the time," she said.

The facility is free to the public and open daily from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except that it opens at 10 a.m. on Thursdays and 1 p.m. Sundays.

For Central Maui this week, the National Weather Service predicts mostly sunny skies with a chance of isolated or scattered showers, with some clouds during the evening.
