NYC pools open for summer at limited capacity due to lifeguard shortage.
city's parks department
announced that 48 outdoor pools throughout the five boroughs will be open for the rest of the summer starting Thursday, at limited capacity. Pool hours are 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. every day, with a break for pool cleaning between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Operations of the pools were adjusted last year due to the lack of lifeguards on duty and the shortage continues to be an issue this year. NYC Parks Commissioner told NBC New York that there are currently 650 lifeguards on staff, compared to 1,400 before the pandemic.
The city has fewer than half the number of lifeguards this year than before the pandemic and the YMCA's longest-serving lifeguard is stepping in. Erica Byfield reports.
