The City of Houston said they have 24 pools open on alternating days, but 10 pools are staying closed because of a nationwide lifeguard shortage.
“Pre-COVID we were staffed, now we are trying to recover,” Ray Derouen, HPARD Regional Aquatic Manager said.
The Sharpstown pool is one of 24 locations open this summer but many others in the City of Houston are closed because of a nationwide lifeguard shortage. “Passing that swimming evaluation qualifies you to enter a lifeguard training course where you learn rescues, first aid and CPR,” Derouen said.
