There’s very limited relief for Milwaukee County residents who want to go to their nearby swimming pool to escape the oppressive heat.
Only one county pool has been opened due to a lack of trained lifeguards.
Cool Waters in West Allis is usually one of the most popular pools in the county but it is closed all summer.
Seven of the 11 county-run pools won’t open at all this summer.
Schulz Aquatic Center in Lincoln Park is full because it’s the only pool that has been opened to the public.
Three pools – McCarty, Sheridan, and Wilson – are scheduled to open to the public Saturday.
