Pool hours impacted across Utah, openings delayed amid ongoing lifeguard shortage
However, several pools are seeing hours changed and openings delayed due to an ongoing shortage of lifeguards.Aquatics manager Suzanne McBee said they normally have 35 lifeguards for their outdoor pool. They are down five right now.Zack Joseph has been a lifeguard at the pool for a year.The rising senior at Cedar Valley High School says the job does come with its challenges, especially with fewer lifeguards on staff.
"We had to change our hours here at the Legacy Center due to not having enough lifeguards to be able to staff," McBee said."We are closing two hours earlier than normal for our open swim Monday through Friday."She said they've also had to adjust how the lifeguard shifts work and how long they are. "The plan is to open them latest by July 1, all of the pools, and hopefully we can get everybody trained," said Reusser.
