Lifeguard shortage limits summer pool operations

Rio Rancho

Summary

The city has only 36 lifeguards this summer instead of the usual 50-58, mostly because high school graduations run late. Cabezon Pool will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays all season, and weekend-only hours apply opening week. If you're a pool family, check the schedule before heading out.
