BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — We all know the triple-digit heat is on its way, and as temperatures rise, a common place to go is the local swimming pool. However, there may be neighborhood pools where that's not an option due to a lack of lifeguards. According to Jasmin Lobasso, Superintendent of Recreation and Community Services for North of the River Recreation, says without sufficient lifeguards, the North of the River Pool may have to operate on a reduced schedule this summer. "June, July, and August, and so that's when the highest need for lifeguards arises across all public pools, as well as other programs," said Lobasso.
