(Charleston Post Courier)The City of Charleston has announced that it will not able to provide summer swim lessons this year. The decision was due to a staffing shortage. The city was not able to hire enough lifeguards and certified swim instructors for the program. The city will still be able to keep its four public pools open, but city lifeguards are only certified to supervise swimmers since instruction is a different certification process.
