The City of Philadelphia says it will open 50 pools this summer as the nation deals with an ongoing lifeguard shortage.
PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia leaders will help celebrate the first day of pool season Tuesday at a block party at the newly renovated Fishtown Recreation Center.
"What I hope comes from this is that they follow our lead on things like the beverage tax and Rebuild to take back to their own cities and opportunities to raise revenue and to fix up their parks, recreation centers, libraries," said Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney.
