The mayor’s office says the city has certified more than 200 lifeguards over the last two weeks after a lackluster start of the swimming season due to insufficient staffing.

Somar Alston, a Harlem resident, told Gothamist that a mini pool on East 135th street and Fifth Avenue appeared to be closed for three days in a row. Despite that, she said kids were lined up anyway in hopes that the pool would open.

Adams conceded that some city pools could be closed as a result of the lack of lifeguards. “We want to open as many as possible, but it is a challenge,” he said.
