All four of the St. Louis County swimming pools opened last weekend, but a shortage of lifeguards has caused two of the four pools to operate with limited days and hours. The county is working to hire more lifeguards and has bumped up starting pay for the seasonal positions.

Lifeguard Michael Buck lifts a girl from the pool after fellow lifeguard Jacorey Williams jumped in to save her when she had trouble surfacing from a jump off the diving board at the North County Recreation Center Aquatic Center on Tuesday, June 21, 2022. A shortage of lifeguards has caused two of the four county pools to operate with limited days and hours this summer. "I really didn't plan to get wet today," said Williams, 18, and a second year lifeguard who is headed to Ranken Technical College this fall. Photo by Robert Cohen, rcohen@post-dispatch.com
