APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) â City of Appleton pools were forced to close early after it was learned that certain lifeguards were not fully certified.
The city says the American Red Cross notified its parks, recreation and facilities management department on Thursday that âmanyâ of the lifeguards hired in the spring were not properly certified. The Red Cross citied âincomplete delivery of course materialsâ as the main issue.
As a result, the city pulled all non-certified lifeguards per Red Cross direction, resulting in a staffing shortage. The shortage led to the early closure of Mead and Erb pools Thursday.
