Kick in the teeth: Lack of lifeguards got the blame

Told ya!

In November 2019, we called a summit of sorts to get the lifeguard training on super-charged levels. More at https://Guard.4Rs.org

This all evaporated with the virus.

We are also in a chicken and egg situation with a "generation" of kids who don't want to work at the pool because they didn't grow up at the pools with lots of fun things going on throughout their youthful years. The pressure to be a guard, get the training, be outdoors -- when that's not your LOVE is too much.

Houston. We have a problem.
