Some lifeguards employed by the City of Toronto say not enough has been done to safely reopen public pools amid the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic. CBC Toronto has agreed not to identify the concerned lifeguards due to employment concerns. Toronto Mayor John Tory says he's been assured all lifeguards will receive training before the pools reopen. He concluded by asking city staff to proactively consult with lifeguards about their comfort levels as the pools begin reopening. "Staff have worked closely with Toronto Public Health to meet guidelines to ensure people can swim safely at outdoor pools," according to a city news release.
