In one week, you can resume making waves at the Kin Aquatic Centre in the Parkland Rec Complex.
The pool in Dauphin is set to re-open on Wednesday, October 1.
Lindsey Kyle is the assistant general manager with Dauphin Rec.
"We are super excited to have the pool open. It's freshly painted," said Kyle. "We've been doing maintenance for the past month, so that's super exciting. Happy to have the Parkland Gators back, and our key members."
At this time, Dauphin Rec is unable to provide lifeguard coverage during daytime hours. This means the pool will be closed between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. It will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. for lane swim and reopen after 4:00 p.m.
There will be aqua fit in the evenings and adult swim. Swimming lessons will also be a priority, and all other programming will return.
Kyle says they hope the staffing shortage will only be short-term.
"We have been and actively are looking for a head lifeguard," ended Kyle. "It's a common problem across Canada right now. There is a lifeguard shortage. We have been fortunate the past couple of years to have had graduating students stick around for a year or two, and they've been able to cover daytime shifts."
Swimming in Dauphin at the Kin Aquatic Centre is just one week away.
