As we inch closer and closer to Memorial Day weekend, many pools in Metro Detroit are opening up for the summer season -- but they need more lifeguards and fast. If they don’t get help, it could mean reduced hours or closures.

The beautiful weather has people heading to state, metro, and county parks, but those parks are running into a snag when it comes to hiring seasonal staff.

Several public pools in Metro Detroit are staying closed this season due to a lack of lifeguards.

ANN ARBOR Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation announced Monday that it is canceling all summer day camps and city pool openings for the 2020 season amid the ongoing health crisis. This includes all summer day camps at Argo, Buhr, Fuller, and Gallup parks and all city outdoor pools at Buhr, Fuller and Veterans Memorial parks. Those who have registered for outdoor pools and day camps will be receive a full refund. Staff will look for new opportunities to connect with the community, both virtually and in person when feasible, throughout the summer," Smith said in a news release. We all look forward to the 2021 summer when we hope to welcome back many returning campers and welcome new ones."
