In his early years, prior to having access to pools, Kawamoto used the Wailoa River for training.[1] Outstanding swimmersYoshi Oyakawa, who became his single greatest protege, and Hawaii's first Olympic gold medal winner, swam with Kawamoto at the Hilo Aquatics Club, and briefly at Hilo High School.
