Kealoha represented the United States at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium as a 17-year-old.[2] He won a gold medal as a member of the winning U.S. team in the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay with teammates Perry McGillivray, Norman Ross and Duke Kahanamoku.[2][3] The U.S. relay team set a new world record of 10:04.4 in the event final.[2] Individually, Kealoha also received a silver medal for his second-place performance in the men's 100-meter freestyle and finished with a time of 1:02.6.[2][4]

According to a member of the Kahanamoku family who knew him, Kealoha was the only person to swim unassisted from Molokai to Oahu. He had previously tried to swim from Oahu to Molokai but failed due to the headwind, current, and waves.
