Summary
The city nearly closed the long-running pool but instead struck a one-year deal with Rock Solid Athletic Club, which runs Shreveport's pools, to operate it this summer with a citywide swim-lesson program. It's a pilot to see if the pool can stay open without draining city resources.

The city's pool at Mike Wood Memorial Park will be run by a private contractor this summer. Rock Solid Athletic Club will provide lifeguards, public swim hours, swim lessons, and senior water aerobics from May 30 through July 31, so residents get public swimming access for a $2.50 fee.
