Testimonials
As a young boy, I spent many a day on the beach in front of the old canoe sheds at the Outrigger. Duke Kahanamoku was back on the beach with his pal Johnny Weismuller having both earned medals at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. The Natatorium is not only a tribute to the sacrifice of those who served in the war 100 years ago, it is a source of a great many good memories among Hawaii’s people.
— Philip P. Maxell, Jr.
