Seneca hopes to open Aquatic Center this summer
05/22/2020

(KMZA)--Seneca city officials hope to be able to open the Aquatic Center this summer, but a final decision has not been made.

The Seneca City Council discussed the issue when they met Wednesday evening.

The Aquatic Center traditional opens Memorial Day weekend, but that is not happening this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

City Administrator Matt Rehder said even if everything was fine with the pandemic, they currently don't have enough lifeguards to open.

The Council asked Rehder to have the city's new recreation director use social media to attract applicants.

Rehder said he thinks the Aquatic Center could open in July.

Mayor Joe Mitchell said the city needs to have a plan in place, so if everything falls into place they are ready to open.

Several Kansas cities have announced their swimming pools won't open this summer, including locally, Atchison, Hiawatha and Holton.
