High school and college students are looking for summer jobs that don't require costally certifications and pay more than part-time public sector jobs, many municipality pool operators say.
The staff shortages don't just mean a lack of lifeguards but also pool administrators and maintenance staff, as is the case in Hampden Township.
These issues are not only affecting local pools but YMCAs and state facilities. Codorus State Park will not be opening its pool this season until it can hire lifeguards, until then only the splash pad will be open on select days, according to the park's Facebook.
