There recently was a big meeting with all the big wigs trying to figure out how to attract staff, especially at $10 an hour, the current pay rate, and also address employee retention.
Managers work normally Monday-Friday 8-5 and certainly not all hours the centers are open. They have many responsibilities, checking id's at pools are not their priority. Sadly, the staffing issue is likely to continue for awhile, just as it is in most local businesses as you can confirm by the help wanted signs everywhere.
Again, if you see a specific problem at the pool, use the pool phone and call the center listed and we should be able to respond but the days of a full time pool monitor are over for now. Bob
