No lifeguard shortage expected at Austin pools this year

AUSTIN (KXAN) — City pools should open on time in Austin this year.
The city’s Aquatic Division Director, Jodi Jay said she’s “cautiously optimistic” in saying so. Her confidence comes from the number of lifeguards on payroll compared to recent years.
“We’re cautiously optimistic that everything’s going to open up on time, but we need things to stay trending the way they are,” Jay said.
