Why do most of the outdoor pools close in early August when it is still so hot outside?
We lose the majority of our lifeguards since schools in Buncombe County usually begins in early to mid August (as well as most universities and colleges). We would really like to keep all six outdoor pools open because of the weather. However, we do try to keep one to two pools open on Saturdays and Sundays through the month of August. Again, this depends on the number of lifeguards available once school begins.
