Lifeguard Shortage Impacts Pools In Allegheny County

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (KDKA) – We’ve been feeling the summer heat, and many swimming pools have been struggling to find lifeguards.
The Allegheny County Parks Department wasn’t getting enough lifeguard applications, so the department raised the pay rate to $14 an hour and certification is available at no cost.
The county Parks Department will open North Park Swimming Pool, Boyce Park Wave Pool, Settlers Cabin Park Wave Pool, South Park Wave Pool, Deer Lakes Spray Park and Round Hill
