[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our HOA in VA just sent an email this afternoon that the pool service company they use is having trouble finding lifeguards.

If they can't find some this week, the pool may not open Memorial Day weekend.

Honestly, it is taking everything in me not to write an irate email back.

Our pool didn't open at all last summer even though those all around us did.

They didn't just rope off equipment during the pandemic - they fully removed it in most cases.  Like the basketball hoops and tennis court nets.  Then they later came and padlocked the tennis court door because people kept going inside and hitting balls even without nets.  The hoops and nets JUST got put back up last week!

The clubhouse gym has been closed since it began & remains that way even though other gyms are open.  We've had no summer movie nights or Independence Day fireworks (which I agree, should have been canceled during the pandemic) but the updates for this summer have not been positive.  What exactly am I paying for??

[b]These pool service companies[/b] should have realized they weren't going to be able to bring in their cheap Eastern European labor for this summer and planned accordingly. [/quote]

I hadn't heard of any having difficulty staffing, but it makes sense if they rely on hiring from out of the country. Thankfully ours hires locally (I am pretty sure all of our guards this year belong to our pool). Good luck.[/quote]

Yes, many of these pool service companies hire lifeguards from overseas and they can not get a visa to get in to the county. [/quote]

There is a lifeguard shortage because of the visas.  Last two years we were able to staff our pool with local kids.  [b]This year not a single local kid wants a job.  The companies can't hire local kids because their parents don't force them to work when they hit 15[/b].  It is crazy to me.

08:01 here. I’m wondering if this is regional.[/quote]
