As the Bay Area heats up this summer, many are trying to beat the hot temperatures with a dip in the pool. But a shortage of lifeguards could complicate access to the water.
From pool sessions to swimming lessons, there are plenty of activities available to beat the heat. Steve Stall, a swimming instructor at Heather Farm Park swimming pool in Walnut Creek, has been teaching lessons for 45 years.
However, the enjoyment of public pools relies on the presence of lifeguards. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of lifeguards in the Bay Area, particularly in the East Bay, where more people are seeking a break from the heat. "We utilize a couple of different strategies. The first one: we started our recruitment pretty early, all the way back in December. We actively participated in high schools, we went to job fairs, we went to school events. We're one of the few facilities that don't require individuals to come to us with certain lifeguard certifications, we provide them with all of their training," explains Mathew Galindo, Recreation Program Coordinator at the pool.
