Lifeguard shortage at Columbus pool

A Columbus swimming pool remains still closed due to a lifeguard shortage.  Columbus Recreation and Parks department officials say they had to delay opening Lincoln Pool Monday because they have only half the lifeguards needed. There are enough guards trained, but they're still in the city's hiring pipeline. Lincoln Pool could open for the first time in three years as early as tomorrow.
