BELOIT, Wis. (WMTV) - More than a month after Krueger Pool was originally expected to open, swimmers will finally get their chance to dive in. However, their chance may not last long.

After weeks of delays caused by staffing shortages, the City of Beloit revealed Thursday that the pool would open the next day and through the weekend from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. It will open back up next weekend, but anything after that is still up in the air.

The statement announcing Krueger Pool would be open this weekend added that the city is still trying to hire more lifeguards and cashiers this summer. City officials are hopeful swimmers and suntanners will be able to return past next weekend.

The city pointed out that it has been trying to find lifeguards since March in an attempt to staff up amid a nationwide lifeguard shortage.

With people coming back, the city also wanted to remind visitors of some of the pool rules that have been put in place (from their statement):
