Just as pools prepare to open this Memorial Day weekend, many are finding they don’t have a way to keep guests safe. Lifeguards are in short supply this season.
“Every summer we’re looking to hire around 25-30 lifeguards to staff the outdoor pool to go along with the indoor pool,” said Branden Burns, aquatics and camps manager in Twinsburg. “This year, we’ve had about 6 so far.”
It’s a problem that cities around Greater Cleveland are experiencing.
“We’re about 15 short,” said Michelle Eibel, aquatics and safety manager in Rocky River. “We typically have about 65 on staff to staff both our indoor and outdoor pool.”
