COEUR d'ALENE - No more lifeguards.
Those folks who sit in the towers at City Beach will be done for the summer season Sunday night.
"They're all going back to school," said Steve Anthony, city recreation director.
Lifeguards began their mission on June 11. Depending on the day, there were usually five or six on duty.
Anthony said they had a slow June but a busy July that required a couple of life-saving measures.
With the lifeguards about to be gone, the buoy lines will also be removed. People will be swimming at their own risk again.
