RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - If you’re looking for a job this summer, you may want to consider lifeguarding. Since the pandemic, there has been a nationwide shortage, forcing a third of the 300,000 public pools in the U.S. to shorten their hours, close or allow people to swim without a lifeguard. However, SwimRVA in Chesterfield County is working to ensure proper supervision at every pool in our area by increasing its lifeguard training courses.

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - There’s nothing like spending a summer day poolside. However, Madison Oaster with SwimRVA said a fun time splashing around can quickly turn into a tragedy. “Drowning, it’s not like you see in the movies, it can be very silent, it can be very quick, it happens in a blink of an eye,” Oaster said. When school’s out for summer, most kids can’t wait to put on their bathing suits and cannonball into the pool.

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Virginia has three reported measles cases this year. VDH officials said that an international traveler flew into Dulles International Airport and took public transportation in the metro DC area, potentially exposing others. “Measles can be transmitted easily through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes, and it’s very contagious. Up to nine out of 10 people exposed to measles will develop measles if they are not immune,” said Emily Rich with VDH.
