YOU RIGHT THERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. AND AS THE SHERIFF MENTIONED, SCHOOL IS OUT AND KIDS WILL BE LOOKING TO COOL OFF. BUT ONCE AGAIN, SEVERAL BIRMINGHAM PUBLIC SWIMMING POOLS WILL NOT BE OPEN THIS YEAR. ONLY SEVEN OF THE CITY’S 12 POOLS WILL BE FILLED, AND THAT IS DOWN FROM NINE LAST YEAR. BUT ONE OF THE POOLS THAT IS READY TO GO IS OVER AT CRESTWOOD PARK. THAT’S WHERE WE FIND �������� 13. BRYCE, OSELEN AND BRYCE. NOT ALL SEVEN OF THOSE POOLS WILL BE READY TO GO FOR THIS MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND. GOOD MORNING CARLA. THAT’S RIGHT. NOT ALL SEVEN OF THOSE POOLS WILL BE READY TO GO THIS WEEKEND. BUT IF YOU LOOK BEHIND ME, I’M AT CRESTWOOD PARK, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE FOUR POOLS THAT THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM WILL SOON OPEN. RIGHT NOW. THERE’S A LOCK ON IT, BUT THIS LOCK WILL BE REMOVED SHORTLY THIS WEEKEND. NOW, THE OTHER THREE POOLS INCLUDE MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR, MACALPINE AND MEMORIAL PARK. A BIG REASON WHY THE CITY CAN’T OPEN MORE POOLS IS TO CONTINUING LIFEGUARD SHORTAGE. RIGHT NOW, THE CITY IS STILL LOOKING FOR MORE LIFEGUARDS AND WILL BE PAYING OVER $16 AN HOUR. BUT FOR THE FAMILIES THAT DO GET TO ENJOY THE POOL, WELL, THEY TELL ME IT’S A BIG BENEFIT FOR THEIR FAMILIES. OH MAN, THERE’S EVERYTHING A FAMILY COULD NEED FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES AT THIS PARK. THERE’S THE PLAYGROUND WITH LITTLE KID ACTIVITIES, BIG KID ACTIVITIES. THERE’S PLENTY OF SHADE FOR PICNICS, BENCHES, FOOTBALL FIELD FOR ALL SORTS OF SPORTS. SO TRACK. I MEAN, THE POOL, PICKLEBALL, TENNIS COURTS. EVERY FAMILY HAS A REASON TO BE HERE. NOW, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN POSSIBLY BECOMING A LIFEGUARD, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO REACH OUT TO THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM’S DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND REC. THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM WILL ALSO ANNOUNCE THE OPENING OF THREE MORE POOLS ON JUNE 3RD. LIVE IN BIRMINGHAM BRY
