According to the German Life Saving Society (DLRG) in Hessen, the shortage of lifeguards has worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When pools were closed due to the pandemic, many employees sought alternative occupations, as stated by Michael Hohmann, the President of the DLRG state association. It is possible that some individuals have come to appreciate their free time on weekends and summer evenings.
Personnel shortage among lifeguards worsens, says DLRG.
