ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - Albemarle County had to close one of its beaches this past weekend, but the county says it wasn’t due to lifeguard shortages.

“We’re looking forward to the upcoming summer. Had a little hiccup this past weekend with little scheduling,” Recreation Manager Joe Clark said Monday, June 5.

Clark says graduation season was the main factor: Many of the lifeguards needed to attend a graduation.

Albemarle County says it is still accepting applications for lifeguards and cashiers.
