The Kawamoto Swim Stadium in Hilo will return to regular hours today.

The gates to the pool were closed Tuesday morning, and lifeguards turned away would-be swimmers, as police conducted an investigation after a body was found in the pool.

The pool only needed a day to be cleaned and reopened Wednesday. However, the pool closed again on Thursday for maintenance, but is open for regular hours today.

Swimmers can visit the pool from 9 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. on Mondays, 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and 8:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.
