Lifeguard at wave pool

A lifeguard stands watch at the wave pool at Denton Water Works Park in 2022.

Water, water, everywhere, and not a lifeguard to watch it? The American Lifeguard Association reported that up to 50% of pools across the U.S. could be facing lifeguard shortages from a pandemic’s worth of pool closures.

After taking a hit with the rest of the country, Denton’s facilities — Water Works Park, the Natatorium and Civic Center Pool — have made a successful post-COVID comeback thanks to wage increases and strategy changes.
