(Atlantic, Iowa) – Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department Director Bryant Rasmussen, today (Thursday), said “As we move further into June, Sunnyside Pool wanted to get out a schedule of days we will not be opening due to a shortage of lifeguards. This does not include any days we will be closed for weather.” The pool will be closed for certain this weekend and next, beginning on Fridays both weeks.

Rasmussen suggests you call before coming to the pool, to make they have not exceeded guest capacity as determined by the number of lifeguards on-duty, and American Red Cross regulations.

He thanks the public for understanding, and reminds persons interesting in working as a life guard, to apply. You can find an application on the parks and rec page, or come in and request one at the pool.
