Lifeguards in high demand as COVID restrictions loosen up
NY Post
PHOENIX – As the weather warms up and COVID-19 restrictions ease, swimming pools across the country are re-opening but finding enough lifeguards to help protect swimmers is turning out to be difficult.
Lifeguarding is another one of those professions hit hard by the pandemic after gyms, waterparks, beaches, and community pools were forced to close down. Demand is now higher than ever, but the pool of applicants just isn’t there. Jocelyn Ramey a seasoned lifeguard of four years is no stranger to busy days in the sun. This summer she’ll be working for the Life Time, fitness chain which has more than 150 locations in 41 North American cities.

Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
