As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Cleveland has experienced fewer than normal candidates for seasonal lifeguarding. This has impacted day to day operations. The City has implemented the following summer pool operational changes for the 2022 season.
Outdoor Pools
- All 19 outdoor pools will operate Wednesday through Sunday from June 11, 2022 through Sunday, August 7, 2022. If all seasonal lifeguards can remain employed by the City of Cleveland through Sunday, August 21, 2022, the City will extend their summer pool season until this date. If not, those seasonal lifeguards that can remain employed through this date will be placed at select pools throughout the City of Cleveland to provide pool service.
- All outdoor pools will remain closed on Mondays and Tuesdays regardless of outdoor temperatures.
- Operational hours are 12:00p.m. – 7:45p.m.
- Each outdoor pool will operate 45 minute sessions to maximize customer usage. At the conclusion of each session users must leave the pool and are free to check back in to re-enter the pool. Customers must line up (first come, first serve) for each session.
- Each pool will close from 4:00p.m. – 5:00p.m.
