Lifeguard Training at Inskip Pool Wraps Up
After being closed last weekend, Inskip Pool has officially reopened to the public as of June 4th. The pool briefly opened for Memorial Day, but had to close for lifeguard training. “We had to make sure they had gotten enough training and that they also had all the certifications because safety is important to us,” says Parks and Recreation Director Sheryl Ely when asked about the preliminary measures.
The group training included in and out of pool safety as well as drills for rescuing. Every lifeguard was required to run through a series of rescues to prepare them for anyone who may need help during an emergency.
The lifeguards completed a series of certifications, including the American Red Cross Lifeguard Certification, CPR/AED/First Aid Certification, and many completed Water Safety Instructor (WSI) training to become certified in teaching swimming lessons. The training officially wrapped up on June 3 and the new lifeguards will be on duty for the remainder of the summer.
As the pool reopens, all visitors are asked to read and follow the pool rules listed at the entrance. Any questions can be directed to a lifeguard or any other pool employee.
If you are still interested in being a lifeguard, some positions are still available. Send any inquiries to
