Due to staffing shortages, the pools will be open at reduced hours.
"Unfortunately, we're facing the same staffing shortages other industries across the nation are facing," said Monica Conrad, Director of Parks & Recreation. "We hope to increase pool hours as more lifeguards come on board this summer."
