A nationwide lifeguard shortage could mean trouble as you head to the pool or beach this summer. As DaveCarlinTV reports, the shortage is forcing local governments to come up with creative ways to increase staffing.
"We love the beach ... We love the boardwalk, it's the best thing," one man said."I know that got shortages all over pretty much," one beachgoer said.Blakeman says ocean lifeguards and the swimming pool ones are working overtime during a scramble to get more applicants. The need is especially critical for the county's four pools, opening on Monday.
The county figured out a way to boost the number of lifeguards by sliding back the age requirement for full certification for pool lifeguards. The trouble started when the pandemic prompted some lifeguards to find jobs they preferred with year-round work instead of seasonal.
