In Washington State there is a pool called Colman Park Pool. It was left to the state (Seattle Parks and Rec.) When the owner of the pool and land passed away, he left the pool and surrounding area to the city on the grounds that the pool was left a certain percentage saltwater. It is a 50 meter pool and is even heated during the summer. Seems there should be a way to use that method with the Natatorium. Thank you for you time.http://www.seattle.gov/parks/Aquatics/colman.htm

Carrie, there is- at the top you will see a tab labeled ‘contribution’.
Hi Diane, thanks for sharing this. There are, in fact many salt water pools around the world that are well-used, well-maintained and well-loved. Let’s not be short-sighted and lose this wonderful recreational asset!
Thomas, thank you! You can help a number of ways. Write a letter to the editor of the Advertiser (letters@honoluluadvertiser.com) and/or Star-Bulletin (letters@starbulletin.com). Join the Friends of the Natatorium so you can help us when we need folks to make calls or write to elected officials. Or make a contribution by hitting the “donate” button on our web site. Mahalo!
As part of the Gigapan community and the Hawaii Pacific University Gigapan group, I’d like to find out how how I may be able to go about getting permission to access the premises so as to be able to document the Natatorium with Gigapan technology. Here is an example of what Gigapan is about – http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=16209 The project theme is to document Hawaii’s architectural icons. Professor Peter Britos, HPU Multimedia Chairperson is supervising this program. http://www.hpu.edu/index.cfm?section=acadprograms11760&contentID=11760&siteID=1&preview=1 I am planning to do this within the next couple of weeks if possible. I’d appreciate if someone could get in touch with me or point me in the right direction. Thank you.
