Swimming is back in Dauphin.
The Kin Aquatic Centre inside the Parkland Rec Complex is open after a month of maintenance.
There is a lane swim on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 6:30 to 8:00 a.m.
"We are super excited to have the pool back open," said Lindsey Kyle, assistant general manager with Dauphin Rec. "It's freshly painted. Happy to have the Parkland Gators and all of our key members back."
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 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."
