Waukesha County Beach Lifeguard Season Coming To End

WAUKESHA, WI — As lifeguard staff availability changes, the Waukesha County Parks lifeguard staffed beaches at Fox Brook Park and Menomonee Park will begin to transition to Swim At Your Own Risk beaches beginning Thursday, Aug. 15.

County officials say Swim At Your Own Risk beaches will be open daily from sunrise to sunset. Waukesha County park staff will continue to conduct regular daily maintenance of the beach, restrooms, and surrounding areas. Water quality testing will also continue, and water quality signs will be posted.

All swimmers must stay within shallow water section only which is designated by rope and buoys, officials say. The designated roped area does not include the deep section at locations with docks/rafts/diving boards. Children require close adult supervision at all times.
