Eagle Lake City Pool opens July 3

EAGLE LAKE — The Eagle Lake City Pool will open for the summer season at noon Friday, July 3, following a delayed opening caused by a shortage of certified lifeguards.

City Secretary Lina Ferguson said the pool’s opening was pushed back from June because of a limited number of lifeguard applicants.

“After completing the application and screening process, all selected applicants are required to successfully complete their lifeguard certification before the pool can safely open,” Ferguson said.
