JACKSON, Wyo. — Over the next three weeks, the Rec Center will modify its facility hours due to a shortage of lifeguard staff.
Beginning Monday, Dec. 5 through Friday, Dec. 23, Rec Center Facility hours will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Aquatics area will be open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and closed on weekends. The facility will be open on weekends from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Staff will re-evaluate the schedule after Dec. 23 and will provide the public with any updates.
“There is a nationwide lifeguard staff shortage. Unfortunately, in our community we are no different and having the same struggles,” said Rec Center Manager Rachael Zimmerman. “We are grateful for the lifeguards we have on staff who are making it possible for us to operate at all. We are working diligently in recruiting and training and hope that we can expand hours soon. We appreciate the community’s support and understanding.”
