The Harker Heights public swimming pool at Carl Levin Park will open on June 4, which is after the originally scheduled date.
A staff shortage has caused the city to make the change, said Jeff Achee, director of Parks and Recreation.
As a result of the shortage, âopen swimâ will also be shortened. Open swim will now be open Friday through Sunday. Hours of pool operation will be 1:30 to 7 p.m. on Fridays and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The pool will not be open for open swim Monday through Thursday.
The Learn to Swim program will continue to operate as normal, however, the release said.

TEMPLE, TX â Driving on residential streets in Temple on Friday, youâll see plenty of piles of sticks, branches and broken limbs.
Itâs all leftover from the winter storm just the day before.
One of those piles belongs to the Simons, a Temple family who heard something fall off of their roof Thursday evening.
At first, they thought it was snow or ice. Come to find out, they were wrong.
âI see this big tree laying over our porch and on the sidewalk,â Cody Simons, the homeowner explained. âWith all the weight of the tree limbs; that s pretty much what happens this time of year.â
HARKER HEIGHTS â When the crowd of more than 100 began to enter the âHoliday Marketâ and âSanta in the Parkâ Friday afternoon at the Harker Heights Community Park, they were greeted with signs that read âFace Coverings Requiredâ and âStay Six Feet Apart.â
However, just to the left of the entrance was a kinder welcome on a booth manned by Sara Gibbs, director of the Harker Heights Activities Center, which trumpeted the message âFree Hot Chocolate.â
Hot chocolate was a welcoming drink at the Holiday Market in Harker Heights Friday, served by Sara Gibbs and provided by the Harker Heights Activities Center and Parks and Recreation.
