The City of Wichita announced Tuesday morning that 40 lifeguard positions are open ahead of the upcoming pool season beginning May 29. If the positions don’t fill in time, the pools may have to close on a rolling schedule, and hours could be reduced. Many summer festivities could be affected by the lack of proper staffing. “We often have parties and get-togethers and gatherings at the swimming pools, and that’ll just make it a little more difficult for those families to schedule those,” said Troy Houtman, the City of Wichita Director of Parks and Recreation.
