A report in the Altoona Mirror states that the Central Blair Rec commission announced the pool will open for business, but only 4 days a week beginning in June. Because of a lack of lifeguards, the pool will only be open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from noon until 6. The pool is being prepared for swimmers, and a thorough test will be conducted before it can open. The facility faces a cloudy future because of ongoing leakage of water, problems with behavior at the pool which required constant police presence last summer and the lack of lifeguards. If more lifeguards come on board, the CBRC says it could open the pool on more days, but it could also close the facility because of any last minute call offs by lifeguards scheduled to work. The pool is slated to be open on days listed from June 7 thru August 13.
