Although it might not feel like it yet, pool season is just a few weeks away. All six Wichita pools will open on Memorial Day, May 29, and Joe Master, the aquatics recreation supervisor, said there could be some early surprise openings for the splash pads. Keeping an eye on the Wichita Park and Recreation social media is the best way to find out when these will be open. The city is still looking to hire 40 more lifeguards to ensure all the pools can be open during regular business hours. The goal is to have 12 to 15 lifeguards at each pool. If that number isn’t met, open swim hours may be shortened. There could also be rolling closures, with some pools closed during regular hours to ensure there are enough lifeguards on duty at the open facilities.
