IDLE â The Belleview Pool sits idle and may not open for the 2021 swim season due to a lack of lifeguard applications.
STEUBENVILLE Unless she can find at least six more lifeguards, Steubenville Parks and Recreation Director Lori Fetherolf says there’s a chance Belleview Pool won’t open for the 2021 swim season.
“I need at least eight lifeguards and I only have two applications,” Fetherolf said. “If we don’t have more applications by the first part of May, we will begin discussing whether we can even open.”
She said there’s a lifeguard shortage across the country another thing you can chalk up to the pandemic.
