BECKLEY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – It was announced Tuesday that the Black Knight pool will close indefinitely due to a shortage of lifeguards.
A Tuesday afternoon announcement from the Black Knight Country Club indicated the indefinite shutdown, citing lack of sufficient lifeguard staffing as the cause.
Notably, the closure appears to be exclusive to the Black Knight pool, as the announcement indicates that the substantially larger Sharon Dempsey Memorial (New River) pool will remain open.
The lifeguard shortage has been ongoing, and threatened to impact the opening of both pools in any capacity earlier this year – more on that here.
Both pools eventually became operational in late June. Lifeguard shortages continued to impact functionality throughout the summer, however, with closures having been announced for several dates in July – more on that here.
More information can be found here at the Black Knight Country Club page.
