Lifeguard shortages, you have heard about them preventing some pools from opening in the Kansas City area. But in Olathe, they’re not throwing in the towel. City managers say they are trying to attract a bigger pool of applicants. They said they are streamlining the application process during an event this weekend. At the event people will take a swimming skills test and interview on the spot. If all goes well, applicants will be invited to spend the next three days in certification training that Olathe is offering for free. Because of the response to COVID-19, last year in Olathe only two pools opened and patrons were required to pre-register for specific time slots.
