MENTOR, Ohio — Over recent years, we've been telling you about cities across Northeast Ohio struggling to hire and retain lifeguards, forcing many pools to close. It may not feel like it yet, but summer will be here soon. News 5 is following through on the progress being made in Mentor. The city has already opened its lifeguard applications to see if they will have enough people to reopen more pools this year.
“We used to have three outdoor pools and we had an excess of 100 guards for the summer season and once COVID-19 hit it dropped down to about 40 guards,” said Nita Justice, Recreations Superintendent, City of Mentor. Last summer, the City of Mentor could only open one outdoor pool and no learn-to-swim classes could be offered.
