The Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial is a World War I living memorial located on Oahu, Hawaii, designed to honor the 10,000 men and women from Hawaii who served and the 101 who lost their lives during the war. Opened on August 24, 1927, the memorial features a saltwater swimming pool built in the ocean at Waikiki's San Souci beach.
Currently closed to the public due to disrepair and neglect, the Natatorium has been shuttered since the 1980s, with ongoing efforts to preserve its legacy. The site is maintained by the Friends of the Natatorium, a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring this iconic community gathering place and honoring the sacrifices of those who served.
