Summer pool hours likely to be limited, as lifeguard shortage continues  

OPA will announce schedule in advance 

OPA officials said pool schedules are likely to be similar to the rotating hours announced last year.   

The Association will announce the Monday-Sunday operating hours in advance, each Friday. Announcements will be posted on the front door of each Aquatics facility, and advertised on the Ocean Pines Association website, Facebook, and in a weekly email.

The likelihood of limited hours was previously publicized and listed on pool membership applications.   

To try and combat the lifeguard shortage, the Association hosted and participated in job fairs, increased lifeguard salaries, offered to pay for safety training, and posted job openings on the website, social media, and through paid advertising in local press and through local schools.
