In spite of offering hiring incentives, Richardson is one of many cities facing a lifeguard shortage this summer. As such, the Parks and Recreation Department has announced the following modifications to Richardson’s swimming pool schedule for summer 2022:
- The city’s four neighborhood pools—Canyon Creek, Cottonwood, Glenville and Terrace—will be fully staffed and operate six days per week beginning June 4. Additionally, the Cottonwood and Glenville pools will be open May 28-30. Morning and evening swim lessons will also continue at the neighborhood pools as scheduled.
- A decision on whether to open the Heights Family Aquatic Center will be made June 15 and is dependent on the availability of adequate staffing to allow for it to safely open.
- The availability of Neighborhood Swim Teams is under evaluation pending the availability of coaches. An announcement will be made later if the program will be able to take place.
- Pool rental reservations are now open, but no rentals will be available at the Heights Family Aquatics Center for summer 2022 if it opens.
